I want to level the truck out and I understand the Bilstein 5100's are adjustable and can do that.

If Bilsteins are installed and used to adjust the ride height by a few inches does it affect the ride quality, or does it remain pretty much the same? For example by adjusting the shocks up does it stiffen the ride even more?

Or is it better to just put the Bilsteins in with no adjustment and simply install a levelling kit?

Anyone wonder the same thing? Anyone have any experience relating to this?

Thanks.

 

The Bilstein 5100s only work for 06-08 4x4s just so you know since you didn't specify what kind of truck you have. But pretty much any longer shock thats meant for offroad use will stiffen up your ride. A lot of truck guys go for that because it feels more like a truck on the road instead of a car. If you want you can also look into quicklift struts from Rough Country I believe?
