I have my bilstein struts in a box ready to be put on when I do my drop.

Now I have seen that the bilsteins raise the truck alittle.

About how much do the bilsteins raise the truck?

Doing a 2/3 drop. And seeing if I need to hit up Tony for milling.

best way is to take oem shock off and measure where snap ring is vs the new one

Oh, its a daily so I don't think it would be wise to take apart twice. Time management is hard now with summer hours :(

How much do you charge to mill them? Maybe mill for .25 and 1inch drop incase I go lower later. Also can you solve the chevy lean with milling? I know I can't really see it at stock, but its more apparent after the drop?

15 dollars to mill each ring and then if it has the lean need to know which side sits higher so i can mill those a little lower

Tony, what's the max. drop with your milling? I just bought a set of 5100s. Could you also install some springs while you have them?

i usually do 1 inch but you can do more if you want. Usually spindles and the milling is a perfect set up for someone on a budget
