A local shop near me - SoCal Auto Style - ordered them and installed them.  

Hey guys I've been following this thread since I got my 2019 rst back in August of last year and I have been waiting on the bilstein 5100 to come out. Today my mechanic said that he was able to order the 5100s for the front and I should have them installed on fri next week ????????????

Hi Guys,    For what its worth, I loaned my new truck to Bilstein to use my 2020 Silverado Crewcab 4X4 3.0L Dramax as a test mule last week. I am near their San Diego Corporate office a

I had 5100’s put on my ‘15 Ford FX4 Lariat. They made a HUGE difference. However; the Ranchos on my TB LT are excellent and feel as well, if not better, than the 5100’s on my Ford. I will not be chang

Just an update on this... I emailed Bilstein today.    They said the product would "hit the shelves first quarter of 2020".    Looking forward to putting some 5100 ride leveling sh

Has anyone received the fronts from shock warehouse? Been 2 weeks, no update or response to email.

Did they send you a tracking number? I can't get a hold of them on chat, phone, or email

 

They arrived today.  No they didn't but I have an account with ups and ups sent the tracking.  They come direct from Bilstein.  If you don't have a ups account, I would sign up since it's free and they automatically send you tracking that's linked with the email.

All,

 

What is a decent price for a shop to charge to install both the fronts and rears, including the alignment?  I am debating with myself about attempting to install myself and just pay for the alignment.

 

Thanks in advance

$300 for front install is what I've been quoted.

No I purchased from shockwarehouse.com.  They were just shipped directly from Bilstein.  I'm assuming there were out of stock at shock warehouse and just sent direct

I see shockwarehouse.com also shows part number 24-293471 and that is the part number that rockauto.com also shows for the 1500.  Any ideas on that?

The 24-309516 are stock trailboss size, so if your wanting to put a 2inch blocks in the rear that is what you need.

if you are keeping the stock rear height you need the 24-293471.

I ordered from Shock Warehouse and had them in a week, no tracking in order email but I called them and they provided it. I did the install last night and it's pretty simle, I've done a few Toyotas and is was much easier than those. One thing to note the bottom mount on the front is much larger so if you have a stock lift spacer it won't fit, I had to redu my 5100 mount after finding that out.

 

I'll report back on ride, I'm simply hoping to get rid of the bouncy front end when towing.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
