Thanks Fella's. I'm all about "QUALITY" engineering and I feel the same way....

Just trying to find a way out of the money I guess.

Bilsteins on the way then....

THANKS

Bilstein's.

Wish I hadn't waited the 2500 miles to put them on in the first place. Big difference.

What kind of life are you guys getting with the Bilstein 5100's (mileage)? My leveling kit came with them and they are awesome, just wondering how long it will be before replacement time

Try genosgarage.com, probably don't have free shipping, but they have excellent customer service.
