Here is a quick video I made going over my impressions of the 5100s and a few install tips.

I'm getting ready to do the shock upgrade.  Are people finding that the parts you have to re-use are ok?  I'm talking about the Spring Insulator - GM (15808594), the Front Spring Upper Seat - GM (15803177), and the Suspension Strut Bumper - GM (22830628).  If people are finding that these need to be replaced, I'd rather have them in advance than have to order or hunt them down. Thanks

WOW, almost 1 year and no post... well I have my 5100"s for all four corners and will get then installed this week. I am just torn between the top notch and 1 notch lower for my 18 Crew 4X4 with 6' bed.

Any side shots out there to help me with my decision?

Has any  body installed 6112's at the lowest setting, for stock hight on a 2018 Crew cab 1500 Z71?    I cant seem to find anybody that has.  I was told they will give the best ride of bilsteins available.  But I want to ensure I end up with. the same factory ride hight, as they come with their own springs. 

 

My truck wont go off road, but I do commute on some poor condition, paved "county" roads.    

 

I do not want to change the stock ride height.  I like the original raked look and function.  

 

Thanks!
