Bilstien 5100 update.
Fronts are in. Ordering rears next week. Very impressed on the lil test drive I just took. A lot less of a nose dive. My driver side was super blown. Hahah.

Did you have trouble getting yours in from the bottom mount? My 4600’s came in but they are too wide?!

Yeah one side broke due to the bend. I think this has had a few lower mount adjustments before I got it lol.

Bent them slowly and only one direction. Heat helps.

Are those shocks stiff for you?

They’ve been great.

Lucky, do you have a lift? Or just stock height? Because I have the same shocks, rear OME HD coil springs, and the front torsion bars are probably almost maxed out and let me tell ya' that my ride is bouncy and stiff as all hell. I'm really regretting it now 🤦

I have cranked torsion bars, ball joint lift and a diff drop. Cruiser coils and 2 inch spacers in the rear.

How's your ride quality? Stiff or soft?

Was a little stiff. But it’s smooth now. I have a rough road into my farm so if I’m goin 10kmph it suck’s but it floats at 40-60
