Bilstein 5100s Best Price?

Are there any any downsides from using them for a 1 inch lift front and rear?

What does it do to the ride?

Thanks guys--

I have a set on order right now. Mine is a 2017 Limited 4x4 though but I’ll post my thoughts in a few weeks once I get them and the Hellwig sway bar installed.

I bought new Bilsteins for my 2008 expedition about 6 months ago, so not a lot of experience, the ride got a bit firmer which I liked (the previous shocks where the original ford shocks with 150,000 miles so had probably lost a lot of damping!) but they have been great so far, but I have only put 16k miles on them. For the money they seem very good. My Expedition is still at stock ride height.

Did you raise the ride height?

I just installed them on my 19 max. Went with the full lift. The ride is infinitely better. Even my wife likes it better. Haven't done the bigger tires yet. That is on the list in the near future.

I’m going to do the full lift too. . .

Thx guys. Any pics with stock tires? Does it pull them in too much? Best price for them? How many inches of lift fully, and does it reduce suspension travel?

TTT

I’ll be sure to post pics of mine before and after. Still waiting. . .
