Bilstien Height Adjustable Shocks
I dont have any pics yet. I will try and get some in the next day or 2. I set them at the highest setting (2.8"). I really like the way it looks like it is. It also rides fantastic. Still unsure if I'm going to put the Ready Lift rear kit on.
Did you put them on yourself and was it easy? If you wanted to lift the rear end would you throw a set of those on the back and just not raise them as much?
This is the first that I have seen of these and it does look very interesting to me especially if it is a do it yourself project.
Can't wait to see the pictures.
Thanks.

While I could have done it and have in the past, I had a friends shop do it down the street. It does require a coil spring compressor to install. I did the set on my old truck (07 Tundra). It was a pain in the tail, but I did it. Buddys shop has a huge coil spring compressor that takes seconds to do, versus the little POS compressor that I used last time. He charged me $100 to install them. Well worth it to me.
If I do decide to do the rear I will for sure do those myself. The rear is just spacers that go on top of the coils so no spring compressor is needed. Just jack it up, unbolt the trackbar and sway bar links, lower the rear end a bit and you're good to go.
The Bilstien lift setup is only available for the fronts so you will need to figure out another source for your rear lift. I called the folks at Ready Lift directly to buy the rear. I could only find their complete F/R set available from most of the 4 Wheel places online. Ready Lift sold me the rear set with no problems and had it to me within a few days.
