Ordering front and rear Bilsteins. I don't want to lose any height in the front and I have the CCM 2.5" spacer right now. Will the Bilstein be able to make up the height to match the CCM 2.5" or should I run the Bilstein with the spacer on the lowest setting?

Thanks.

IIRC the Bilsteins only go up to 1.75" to 2", I would keep running the spacer and the Bilstein strut on the stock height setting.

Thats what I did. I got the 5100's front and back and just kept it on the stock height and kept my RL kit in.

Ok, this is what I needed to know.

I've seen 1.75" but then also 0"-2.5" so wasn't sure.

Submitted a best offer for a set of front and rears on ebay so we will see if it is accepted.

Ok, and if I wanted, I could crank up the Bilsteins and get a 0.75" or 1.0" spacer I guess.

I imagine the ride would be better with the Bilsteins on stock height?

I did the 5100s on the highest setting and then added a little 1/2" spacer for kicks. I bought the Top Gun 1" spacer that comes with 2 plates but I only used one per side. My tires measure exactly 33" and they have never rubbed, no trimming.

ZFSix, what are your fender measurements at ?

 

[Frank_The_Tank]

I think I am at 41.5" Front and 41" Rear but not 100%. I have 275/70/18 Toyo ATs.

ZFSix, what are your fender measurements at ?

40.5" front, 40" rear before I re-installed the helper bags which may have brought the rear up another half inch. I also ditched the rear 1.25" block for a 1.5"

Hey Nick, not sure if he accepted your offer or not. I got them from www.eshocks.com for $330. And it only took me one day to receive them!:banana-mario: If it is the same person (offroadwarehouse), the best they offered me was for $360. Hopefully this helps you save a little $$!!

 

[Frank_The_Tank]

Ok, so I guess people have used both shockwarehouse.com and eshocks.com for Bilsteins? eshocks are 330 for the set, shockwarehouse are 339 for the set. eshocks website is pretty ghetto but if people have used them I will get them there. What do you guys think, no issues ordering them from either place?

 

[Frank_The_Tank]

Bump for feedback and assurance on either of the two sites mentioned:

shocks.com
shockwarehouse.com

Thanks!

Why not just buy the +2.5" bilsteins?

 

[kustom_efekt]

Because the 5100s for nnbs are only available in stock-1.75" or 7-9" lift
