Well today was the day when I was going to order my new Bilstein shocks. I was going to go with the 5100 Series , part # BE5-6252-H5, but there is a problem. The vender I was going to buy from only has 2 of these in stock, so I asked him to see how long it would take to get the other two in. I get a call a lil later and he said they would come in late April early May!
I guess SuperLift is now offering Bilstein shocks on their kits, so they have Bilstein in a pretty big back-order. So this leaves me with a big head ache.
Option 1 - I keep calling venders to see if they have 4 of these shocks in stock.
Option 2 - Order the 5150 Series with the piggy-back system on it that would cost me a $100 more total, part # BF5-A195-H1.
Option 3 - Just wait for the back-order :nono:
I've only seen one truck with the 5150's on it and it kinda looked funny, I think it was a SuperDuty. So I'm not sure if it would look good on my truck and I'm not even sure it would be worth the extra $. I talked to a tech at Bilstein and he said the 5100 and the 5150 have the same valving but the piggy back gives it a lil more travel.
So if its not worth the extra $100 I can hold out and wait for the back order. Let me know what you think.
