Bilstein Leveling Shocks

[JRLZ71]

Does anyone have any experience with the 5100 Bilstein leveling shocks? I have a 2008 Gmc Sierra Z71, and I was thinking about going that route for my leveling my truck. Also, how high will it lift the front of my truck? Any help if appreciated

I just got mine put on after being gone from Home and the Board for 7 months (Afgan). They raised it just at 2 in. I will post up pictures tomorrow of everything that was put on last week.

 

The best thing about the 5100's is the ride, 1000 times better!

They are great and the ride quality is much better.

I have the 5100 Leveling shocks on my 2007 Tahoe Z71 4x4...raised the front 1.77".

Do they take the place of the Auto Ride OEM shocks?

 

I have the auto ride (pros and cons to this)...but the ride is too soft for me at times. I am thinking about replacing the shocks in the near future...not sure to go back with the OEM's or look for another shock that will work with the auto ride.
