I just (today!) had installed the Bilstein 5100 series (24-187367) height adjustable shocks installed in the front of my 2010 TRX. They are at the max height and I gained the 2" as described since my TRX already had the slight lift in the front from stock.

So now, according to measuments from the ground, the truck is about 0.5" lower in the front. Looking at is deceiving, however, because I have been looking at the nose down attitude for so long I can't tell if it is level or even nose high possibly.

Because I didn't know if I could max out the fronts due to the vibration issues that occasionaly appear, I held off on ordering the rear shocks until I could test out the ride. Luckly, I only have a very slight noticable vibration in 4WD and only under heavy accelerations.

So my question is this: If I choose to add in the rear Bilsein 5100 series rears (24-187374 that claim to be 0-1", are these shocks actually going to give me 1" in the back end or are they simply supposed to be used with some other type of 1" lift in the rear (spacer etc)?

In looking at the picture of the rears I can't see how they offer any lift.

Thanks for the input and sorry for the wordy post for such a simple question... I am just excited about the new look!

 

no they will not add lift in the rear....it accomadates for the 1" travel if you add lift in the rear...TGC (Top Gun Customz) sells multiple size spacers...so check there site...i put them in my truck and have airlift 1000's in the rear and I dig it and did the install myself in 45 mins for the two rear spacers

 

Thanks. That's what I thought. I am going to see how it looks in some decent weather and decide if I want to bring up the rear the extra inch or leave it as it.
