I am currently in the middle of doing a headlight projector and HID kit w/ painting, i would have had them done, but they sent the wrong wiring harness. HD Towing Mirrors and a gear swap to 4.56. I have a few others i want to add on there as well. ill be sure to add pics of those as soon as possible also

If your going to go to the Bilstein 5100 adjustables, be prepared to wait awhile. They are on nation wide back order and from what Bilstein has said they are not going to start filling the orders until sometime late April or early May. I went to their Facebook page and let them know how happy I was about waiting for parts for 2-3 month after I already paid for them the first of February. Most retailers I found are still selling them even though they don't have them in stock.

alright, went ahead and posted 3 more pages of pictures, ill have even more next week once the headlights are installed.
i ordered my bilsteins from an actual business back in jan who already had them in stock. "autoanything" and i received them in a good 4 days. dont order straight from bilstein, order from people who already have them.
but i hope yall like the pictures, and you see how the ride height is next to the stock. still drives like stock, probably better. let me know what yall think

I went with the loaded quick lifts from Rancho +2.25" because I couldn't get my hands on Bilsteins.. I got rs9000xls for the rear, all together it cost me $600 Not to bad for a set of 4 plus new springs. They are supposed to be here on Tuesday from my local Carquest. I should have them on by next weekend. I'll let ya know how they ride.

I understand not ordering them from Bilstein directly, but most retailers will not tell you the truth about actually having them in stock. If they tell you the truth they are afraid they will lose the sale because of the back order problems. A lot of retailers don't even stock a lot of parts they just drop ship them after they have been ordered.
