I know they're the shit, funny thing is I though about running them in the rear or my Tahoe when I was in the market for shocks but thn they weretoo expensive and I would not be able to show them off because the truck is too low lol.
I would do 5100s though if I was still shopping, comparable and cheaper alternative...

The problem with 5100s is they don't make any short enough for my truck. I love the bilsteins but even the HDs I'm running are a bit too long. Even with a hook up I'm still gonna drop $600 on shocks.

Max, how were you not ON your bumpstops? Before I did this mod, I was laying ON my factory bumpstops. I cut the bumpstops off, then I was laying ON my bracket. SO when I cut my bracket off, I now have about an inch before I hit my frame...

No idea, it didn't ride too bad with the helper bags at 5~psi and it may have sat on the lower profile stops but I honestly never checked. Rear sits at 31.5" now on the 30.5" tires with about 3 or 4psi in the bags. I think the bilsteins are too long now so belltech street performance will make their way onto the back once I get the other pair of cams to install on my ucas. Half temped just to build some bag brackets and weld it up this 5"-5.5" drop is NOT cutting it anymore.
