Been running the 5100's for a yr now and they ride and trail great. I may move up to a 4" lift next year. When I do I will stick with Bilstein. pc06er

on the 5100s are they supposed to come with the top metal bushing or are you supposed to reuse the bushing from the stock suspension?

good question i was gunna use a sleeve i had from different shocks but they didnt fit the bilstein bushing so rather than bore out the rubber bushing i just installed the bilstein shock how it was out of the box only thing i added was washers on either side of the bushings to fill in the space that was left from the narrower bilstein bushings...hopefully someone else has more to say on the subject though
