Bilstein 5100 Lift Install

[Expedition Dave]

IDK if the rake is so mild by design due to it being an FX4, but I am fine with it since this is a truck, and if I load/tow I want it to be level then. I will make the before and after measurements on the most level piece of ground I can find, same amount of fuel, etc. when I get this all together in a few weeks...

Anyone got pics of the EXPY only 5100 shocks yet? Still waiting on mine--but I swear a ton of before and after pics lol

I ordered mine from RealTruck.com. Not sure if they are still in stock but work a check.

Ordered mine Monday from Tirerack. Fronts will be here tomorrow and the rears Friday. Will be installing them Monday. Of course mine is a 2WD.

I think they are still on backorder at the below.
Paid $484, shipped for all four Expy shocks from https://www.jackit.com/

You may want to use that link exactly... YMMV.

I will update later today/tomorrow...

Installed mine today, fronts are a real PITA to figure out how to remove them without removing the lower control arm since the bottom mount bolts are pressed in. Had to compress the springs to remove them. Backs are easy.

How's the ride quality?

Just took it around the neighborhood. Feels firm and planted though.

Is that code for no longer plush? How much taller are you? Before and after pcis?
