Bilstein Availability

[Jesster]

How are the transmission shift points now with the 285/55/22's? That is my biggest worry with going to the same size tire on mine when I get my lift. I have basically the same truck as you with the 3.92, non-etorque.

I did not notice a huge difference. I would say it's probably why the truck feels "more substantial" though. I tow an 8K lb boat and am headed out next week so I'll report back after, as I think shift points will become more pronounced under load. I also put 1.5 inch spacers in tonight. The back looks great but the front rubs the small mudflaps right on the plastic rivet. Ill remove it tomorrow to see if it solves the problem. If not Ill take the front spacers off, it looks fine with them just in the back anyway.

I may trade my 2019 Longhorn for a TRX. I am thinking about removing the 5160 rear shocks and selling them as I won’t get any more for them on a trade in. I kept the factory shocks to reinstall. Don’t know how much to ask for the 5160’s or how expensive they would be to ship

How did it work out, Still rubbing ? I’m close to ordering some 285/65/20 ridge grapplers and would like to leave my 2” wheel spacers and not rub but I think I will have the same issue right where you did

@Jesster Any updates on those shift points?

I maybe interested...I went with the 5100s in the rear bc I was too impatient to wait on the 5160's being on backorder...im in ny...where are you located and how much?

Do you rub on those 35’s with 1.5 wheel spacers ? I’m looking at similar size tires 285/65/20 and I have 2” wheel spacers and thinking maybe going 295/60/20 to be a bit safer but prefer 285/65

I had to bend the mounting tab for the oem mudflaps/spats and then remounted them...otherwise no issues

I did end up buying a TRXand I did remove a few things from my Longhorn before trading it in. I am in Kentucky. I am guessing it will cost about $30 to ship them to you. How about $230 shipped. That way I will get 200 out of it. Not looking to get rich off of this. Just want to get some of my money back and help other people out. No sense in this stuff sitting in my garage. I also have a Banks Pedal Monster that is only a couple months old (it’s like a Pedal Commander but much better and more reliable) and a set of 4 Weathertech splash guards.

Do you happen to know how much rake you retained front to back??

Update : I had a recall on my truck where 2700 trucks were affected that didn’t have the ORP springs and I just had them replaced. Tires are really tiny

Looks good! Tires are just on the edge of being too small. I think it still looks good but some nice AT tires would do nicely!

Thanks, I got over 3” on setting 5 and ORP springs . I’m excepting the springs to settle a bit but I’m even front to back . I’m leaning towards 285/65/20 tires which is by specs slightly bigger than 35x11.50 except lighter by 7lbs. It also pulled my front wheels in and I have 2” wheel spacers . The track is pretty even too

Did you end up selling the 5160 shocks?

They sold in about a minute after I listed them in the for sale forum here

Finally got my rear 5100s! Ordered the whole set beginning of April. Got the fronts and tires a couple weeks ago. Hoping by next weekend to have all four 5100s, readylift UCAs, 1” rear coil spacer and tires on!

Great! Can’t wait to see it.

Installed my bilsteins and ready lift UCA's this weekend. Off road package truck and set the front bilsteins at clip #5. Pretty close to dead level. Might have to throw a 1" spacer in the rear to get more rake back like @JbVt is planning to do.

 

[ayoslickxd]

i just got my 6112 and they gave it to me at. 8 notchs i think imma lower it to 6 and get 1.2 inch to maintain some rake. im 37.5 in front and 39.25 in rear probably add a spring to raise rear .5. inch more

What spacer did you end up purchasing for the rear? I just ordered my bilstein 5100 front and rear and I’m gonna run a 1” spacer on the rear cause I want some rake plus will help with squat when I pull my boat. What does your truck measure now front and rear after the install?
