Bilstein 5100 Lift Install

[rqh12000]

275/60/20s installed on my Bilstein Lifted Expy with stock Limited wheels. My Bilsteins are adjusted to +1.6" lift in the front and +1.1" in the rear. No issues with this tire size at all. View attachment 68062View attachment 68063View attachment 68064View attachment 68065

Thank you, Sir. This was the exact post I was hoping to find to do to my 2024 XLT.

A few with a more straight on view. I love the look but do think it would look even better with a small 0.25-0.50" spacer. View attachment 68066View attachment 68067View attachment 68068

Thank you, again. The perfect look and mod.

Hi. Has anyone tried one ring down from the top on the rear Bilstein Expo shock? Will that create to much rake with the F150 fronts on bottom.

I am about to pull the trigger on the Bilstein 5100's (i am going Expy version all the way around as I am not lifting - just needing to replace leaky stock struts.) I found the below on shockwarehouse.com. Has anyone seen a better deal out there?

Did you have ccd that you over-rode? Or did you not have ccd factory system?

Bilstein 5100s all around at max height setting (Expedition-specific version). Method 316 Titanium wheels. Falken Wildpeak 275/70r18. No rubbing at full lock and everything looks to be in nice proportion.

Coming back to an old post here, but this truck looks great and is the exact setup I'm considering. Though I was wondering if I could fit the slightly larger Wildpeak in 285/70r18 which specs out at 34" vs your 33.18". Have you been happy with your Wildpeaks? Any idea if the extra height of the 34" would cause rubbing or other issues?

Looking to do the F150 front/Exp rear 5100’s on my 2022 Max. Anyone know if it matters what year F150 5100 shock I use? Was there any changes in the lower control arm mount for the shocks between the 2022 and 2018-ish years for part numbers on the 5100’s. Looks like the F150 front 5100’s are hard to find so want to verify I’m buying the right ones
