I was set on purchasing a set of Bilstein 5100 series shocks but then came across a Bilstein Leveling kit.

I had planned on installing the F350 blocks, Bilstein shocks, and a front leveling kit (not picked out what brand yet).

Anyone have this kit installed ?

BTS System - Toyota Tundra & Ford F-250/F-350

F4-SE5-C765-H0 Bilstein Suspension Kit, Bilstein B12 Tuned Suspension - BTS - TruckSpring.com

 

This is interesting. I haven't run across these in the past. Let us know if you do try them out.

The overview has peeked my interest "The B12 Bilstein Tuned Suspension (BTS) kit is a high performance system that includes four coil springs with a specially-tuned spring rate. This suspension system is the most economical way to lower your stance and get a more stable ride for better handling"

 

I think the overview is a typo, probably cut & paste from another product's description..... "product detail" in the second link gives specific detail about the kit for the Super Duty.

From what I have found, the kit includes 2 progressive rate springs and 2 of the 5100 series shocks.
It provides 2.25" of lift.

I ordered the kit today.
It is going to take a couple weeks for the place to get it in stock.
I will post up how it turns out....


**** EDIT ****

They got the kit in today and I picked it up.
The front shocks in the kit are 24-186018 and I bought a set of the rear shocks 24-186025.

Any updates on this? How does the truck ride with the Bilstein springs? I am thinking of going this route when I do a leveling kit on my truck.

 

Rides alot smoother than stock.
I did the kit with the Bilstein shocks all the way around at the same time.

I got a solid 2" lift out of the kit. I have seen it advertised as a 2.25" and a 2" lift kit.

Here is how it sits with the Leveling kit and 4" Ready Lift rear blocks on 285/75R18 tires. Toyo advertises these tires as 35 x 11.50.

Looks like a nice set up just about what I'm looking for as well. (2012 F-350) . Did you need to have it aligned after the install and did you do it yourself? Thanks for the informative post I had not seen these and they seem like a great solution to get 35-37's on truck as well as resolve Rancho/ride issues.

Thanks, Jeff

 

Yes, installed myself in my driveway. No special tools needed. Couple of jack stands, a couple floor jacks and a few hand tools.

Aligned afterwards (not by me) and it was not far out and did not need any cams (I think that is what they are called) or anything special to get it within spec.

Hard to tell the height by the picture.
The top of the wheel well is 44" from the ground.

Sorry to bump this old thread....

Can you link to your pics again? I'd love to see what your truck looks like.

I'm really thinking about putting this kit and rear shocks installed on my '11 F-250. What needs to be done in the rear, spacers?

 

I used add a leaf and air bags in rear
