Bilstein 5100 adj shocks (front and rear)

Recommended Posts

Got my 5100 installed today. Max ride height in front. After reading all the stories about install nightmares I decided to pay for someone to install them. Ride is significantly better! I would recommend them but it will run around $800 with install. Well worth it in my opinion. Here's the before and after pics.attachicon.gifimage.jpg

How much lift did you end up getting after the install?

Had the 5100 Ride Height Adjustable installed up front at full height (1.86) and also installed the 5100 rears. Only driven short mileage in town but handles bumps, potholes etc better. Certainly better than the Ranchos. Noticeably higher up front to me, but certainly not excessively so. Can't imagine a non truck guy would even notice.

That is for Both Front and Rear, I couldnt pass it up, that sale ends today.. My 14 came with El Cheapo Shocks and I wanted to level it and stiffen it up some so I thought these were my best bet.

Are those the newer model part numbers? I've got them written down at the house but I'm at work. May go ahead and order then if so. Only reason I ask is bc they don't show up when I search for parts by vehicle on their site with a 2015 Sierra.

 

Edit* found them, awesome deal good lookin out bud!

For those of you who haven't seen it posted (may have been other thread that I found it), the regular price on the adjustable fronts from streetsideauto.com is 89.73 and free shipping on orders over $100. I've see where they have been sold out in the past, but I just added my email to their notify list and they let me know last time they got some in.

 

Rear price isn't listed but I bet it's just as good! I'm going to try the fronts (just showed up yesterday, waiting on wheels/tires to install) before I pull the trigger on the rears.

Oh on my 2015 they are opposite, body down boot up. I guess they changed them between 14 and 15. The dealer thot i was crazy too. Then wanted to charge almost 500 to put them on the front. I went the PITA way and learned a few things.

I had a shop quote me $700-800 to put on all 4 King shocks, Cognito UCAs, and front and rear Helwig bars. I didn't think it was too far off, but I ended up doing the whole job myself. It gets harder to do this work for me as I get older and my arthritis sucker punches me afterward. Felt good to do it myself though.

Thanks for reminding me, I gave them a call. The rears are $76.99 and they will also price match the pricing from AJUSA.com .

 

So I bought them from streetsideauto.com for a grand total of $325.78

 

$89.73 fronts x 2

$73.16 rears x2 matched price from AJUSA.com

 

So, like mtbsam said, give them a ring and the Rep said they both are in stock and should ship tomorrow.

I got screwed on the coupon code apparently. It's good for $25 off of $200 but since my order for the fronts already shipped, the rears by themselves don't meat the minimum.

I may try calling to see if they'll apply it, if not I may just wait until I test the fronts. Can anyone who has installed them vouch for, or against, the ride of the rears compared to stock?
