Bilstein 5100 Front Stock Height
Anyone running Bilstein 5100’s on the front, with a stock ride height? Bilstein only makes a 5100 for 2”-2.5” lift. They make rear ones for 0-2” lift. I do have the plow prep package so my front sits a higher. TIA

Yes, they fit with no lift. IMO they should spec them as fitting 0-2" lift instead of that weird 2-2.5". If you do a search on here you can find posts from those who have used them on stock rigs without issue.

I just replaced my stock shocks over the past weekend with 5100s. I compared them side by side while doing so. Both front and rear, the Ford shocks and the Bilsteins were the same length.
The part #s for the Bilsteins that I installed were:
24-274968 (rear)
24-274951(front)
I shopped around and couldn't find anybody selling them for less that $99/ea. Was going to order from 4WD Parts warehouse and the rears were 2 weeks out. Ordered from Summitt Racing late Sunday afternoon and UPS delivered all 4 of them by noon on Tuesday,.
And I have those part #s committed to memory. How sad of a statement is that...

I put Bilstein 5100’s on all 4 corners yesterday. Makes a world of difference on the ride. I can’t wait to tow with it. Backs were super easy, fronts fought me a bit. Overalll not bad.

I just got my set of 5100’s in the mail today.
had the rancheros 9000xl. Their junk. And terrible customer service.
my 17’ F-250 6.2 snow plow prep. No lift.
I also read that those struts fit a stock truck.
should give installed tomorrow
