Another blown Bilstein...probably my 4th one but first front one. Has about 80-90k on it. What else is good for the front shocks? OME? Ironman?

I would never mix a lift spring and that type of shock, I think it would make it ride like pooI see they offer a Bilstein 5100 with adjustable ride height. I didn't know they made such a thing. Wonder if that would be good, or about the same as adding a preload spacer to the spring? If you mount it up with a ome spring wouldn't you just reduce negative travel making your Jeep ride like poo?
HJ I suppose it is a personal preference however I decided to use the boot.And are you running boots or not? I always thought boots just kept crap in.
Guessing we need a class on suspensions, shocks, springs etc soon.

Tom, you could do a Zoom or YouTube series answering common lift questions. That would be awesome.
- What’s the best lift?
- Why not a spacer lift?
- What size tires can I run?
- Should I use wheel spacers?
While I think this is a cool idea, you're likely to only get those of us who are willing to do the research and find answers also being the only ones watching. I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time.I was going through my notes/texts/ manuals etc and wow, I could do 4-5 hours easily LOL
Have never done YouTube , but with my wife becoming a " Zoom " expert now teaching several classes a week at the University, maybe she could teach an old dog some new tricks!
????? Why would Tim start a new thread ??? ConfusedTim needs to start a new thread and poll to convince Tom that there are many of us who are interested in learning more of his gospel.![]()
Yes they do that is how I got my rear 5100sI'm down!!!!
Update: allegedly these have a lifetime warranty so I emailed Marlin to see what do to.
