I'd suggest placing an order and waiting. Orders are being filled in the order received.

Same problem here. Ordered 12/17 and had an estimated delivery date of 1-6. It was updated to delivery date of 2-6. They just updated it to 4-3. I called and canceled the order. Crazy.
I'm thinking about getting the Bilstein 6112's, but not sure if they are rougher than the 5100's.

They're so much better in any respect compared to 5100's. Plus they can be rebuilt by Bisltein when their time comes. Check with shock surplus they can sell you 6112's fully built you just tell them what heigth do you wanted them at. Makes for a plug and play install and you get to keep your factory struts in case you ever sell the truck so going back to stock is easy.

Shocksurplus is now showing the 6112 as out of stock..... Can't catch a break............ LOL.. Going to the dealer tomorrow so they can order my new modified floor mat. I refused to let them cut my original. They keep several lifted/leveled trucks on the lot and they do them in house. I am going to see what they are using and maybe take a ride in one... Thanks for the info...

just checked 3 more left this morning at bilsteinlifts.com
I got an email early this morning from bilsteinlifts.com that they had the 5100's back in stock. Ordered them right away and UPS shows them being delivered on Monday.. Relieved....................... Now to get them installed. Dealership quoted me $380 and a local custom shop that does lifts quoted me $180... No question on who to go with and they have a good reputation around town..
Center of hub to fender is 21 1/4" and the rear is 23 1/2". I am going with setting 5 and hopefully that will get it close to level.
Thanks for advice on putting my name on the list at bilsteinlifts.com

Sounds crazy but check homedepot.com.

That’s where I got mine from and was able to use a coupon making them dirt cheap!
