Is your's a 2 or 4 wheel drive? I've read you can get some driveline vibration issues going much lower than 3-4 in the rear. I'd bet that truck in your photo has a 5/7 drop, but who knows since the massive wheels may make it look more lowered.
295/60/20 Toyo AT2's on 5100's. Granted I've got Cognito UCA's and an additional 3/8" top spacer (about 3" total lift). Did run these on a 2" level too. Rubs the fender liner and the sway at full lock in reverse.
I use mine occasionally when it's warm and the windows are down. I wish it was like the one the Toyota Tundras had where the whole back window goes down into the body. Those are cool.

I would think with vvt and DI more octane would help. Also according to black bear the 5.3 does have relatively high compression.
I run 89 or 92 in mine. Heck, gas is under $2/gallon anyway.

Called Bilstein first thing this morning. The shipped out the missing circlip ring. They told me that little piston rod snap ring holds your top hat in place, so it is necessary!

The bump stop cap is different. That's the large metal cup thing that slides down over the top of the shock. I'm missing a tiny snap ring that sits in a grove near the top of the piston rod.

Can't imagine it would keep the bump stop in place. Seems like it would slide right over that little thing.
I ordered them from Off Road Warehouse and the boxes they were in were so trashed I thought they were used. They were of course packaged in a nice new shipping box but the Bilstein boxes were wasted. I'll call them tomorrow and find out about the piston snap ring I guess.

Received my 5100's today and one of the struts is missing the "piston rod snap ring" as its described in the schematic. Any idea what this tiny thing does and is it needed?
