Question

Yes, they are worth it. $247 is what i paid for mine, i just installed them tuesday. I was getting by with the 6" lift shocks that i had to use until these got in, and i had about an inch of shock body travel left. These are no different from the 5100 series bilsteins on there before, aside from color. Best shock out there IMO!

Where is the best place to buy them. I dont have a e-bay account and dont really have a need for one. Can I order them online for a decent price and save on tax and shipping? Seems like I have seen a webaddress to order them but cant seem to find it now.

what is the difference between the 5100's and the ones on Ebay because those arent 5100's. Also is anyone replacing or installing dual or single steering stabalizers? if so which or what is good?

i think the only diff is the 5100's have a shiney aluiminum(sp) body. as far as valveing or duriability i think they are equal.

the 5100's are for lifted trucks only. leveled trucks will be fine with stock bilstein shocks. Mine feel and ride just like the silver 5100's, just yellow now. I like the color contrast. And the price is almost the same.
