I put the bilstein 5100s on the rear of my 14 High Country with a new 2" block a few weeks ago. Ride is unbelievable compared to stock. Liked it so much I got the adjustable 5100s for my front, remove

Hello, I'm not new to the forum but I just joined and figured I'd contribute to the community.   2016 Silverado 1500 "Z71" removed rancho's and swapped with Bilstein 5100's all around. So after d

I just got done with installing my 6112's on my 2014 GMC Sierra Crew Cab.  Reading some install guides on here really helped, along with printing some Chilton Repair guide torque specs that I got from

That's exactly the time frame I'm on despite being told things would ship the same time. Shocks are in hand but now my blocks aren't supposed to show up until this friday- making it almost 2 weeks. UPS showed a label being made for days with no pickup.

 

I think having MRT on board is certainly helpful, they've answered lots of member questions. For the most part I've gotten quick responses (mainly via PM) and the pricing was certainly good.

 

 

** should be noted that they are not open for business on the weekends, at all. So no emails, tracking, etc get sent out.

Hey Spencer,

 

Tracking is normally emailed within a few days of your order being processed. Our email is [email protected] (A lot of people put .com and that wont work, yet).

 

If you ordered the 26th, most likely youll receive tracking tonight around 5-6PM PST.

 

As always, if you have a order question you can PM us as well.

Thanks for posting that. We do text during normal business hours! Or call us at that number. Or email us! Or Pm US, or Message us on facebook.

 

Got your text Corey, you ordered with Spencer which means your shocks should be shipping out today via Bilstein. Youll see them before the weekend.

 

Thanks!

For anyone that has a Denali and screwed up by buying Bilstein 5100s only to realize they don't fit with the magentic ride struts. Like i did...

 

Here is what the rough country (i know poor quality) 2.5" leveling kit for the magneride looks like. I'm pretty happy with the results.

I want to stiffen up my rear suspension a bit. I tow a 3000 lb travel trailer with a 300 lb tounge weight. I don't think I need to go all the way to a wd hitch or air bags, but would the 4600s in the rear help?

Shocks will help the help the ride but won't help with load. You will need air bags, add a leaf or an overload spring set. Personally I would go air bags as they affect the ride the least.

And the fact they are adjustable is a big advantage. Inflate when needed and dial in the smoothest ride for the weight.

Thanks for the responses. I think I am going to start with the 4600s and add the air bags down the road.

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
