Bilstein 5100s

Just wanted to create this thread so that any who are searching can have a definitve answer. Installed these this weekend on my truck. If you haven't installed them, do it now. Truck rides and drives so much better with these. I have had them on other trucks, but the difference wasn't as noticable. I cannot believe how much the ride quality improved after I installed them.

Part numbers needed for 0-2"lift are: 24-186018 (front) and 24-186025 (rear).

I installed 5100s on my truck about a month ago, very happy with them so far. Also got a dual steering stabilizer kit that uses a pair of 5100s, but I haven't installed it yet.

What year truck do you have? 4x4 or 2x4? SRW or DRW?

Yes, I am amazed. I've ran bilsteins on other trucks, and they didn't make nearly the difference they do on this truck. My next mod is actually that steering stabilizer kit. Did you buy the PMF kit? I like it, but it is not cheap. I thought about buying the rough country kit and just swapping the stabilizers out for bilstein stablizers, but I have not done the math yet to see if it is any cheaper than the PMF kit.

I've put the Bilsteins in my last 4trucks,2011 f250, 2013 f150, 2016 f150, and now a 2015 f350. Can't beat the ride, or believe the difference.
