Deerhunter,

Where did you get them? I've only been able to find the 2wd version on the net for MY09/10. Had 5100's on the front and rear of my '05, and want the same set up on the new truck.

Nice truck and thanks in advance!

Edit- Found them, ran the part number from your other post and ordered them from Shock Wharehouse.

Looks really good! I do have one question for you though. Can you post a picture of your upper A-arms? I want to see if they are close to rubbing. When I had the spacer lift I hit my coils all the time and want to make sure these don't get close.

Thanks!

deerhunter did you have a chance to take any photos today? If not no worries I don't want to be a pest.

I do have a question for you about the vehicles ride when you make U-Turns etc. Do you notice that the stearing at full lock feels any different? I noticed when I had spacers that it seemed as if the stearing at full lock was straining itself.

Your not a pest I'd be doing the same thing but no I didnt yesterday but I will today, and honestly I'm not sure if i've even had it at full lock, I had a f250 before this truck so 3/4 lock on this truck is better than what I'm used to at full lock, I'll give it a try and let you know

Awesome thank you so much! Setup looks a lot better than when I had the spacers in. Good angles on everything. Mine were terrible with the spacers. Time to pull the trigger!

Does anybody know if there is any difference in the suspension setup from the 2009 to the 2010's?

deerhunter I just got my 5100's in the mail today. I see that there are 4 grooved knotches. Which one is the 2" setting? The lower or top groove?

Thanks!

Chris, I had noticed you were in auburn...maybe we can get together sometime, I think i saw something a while back that you were doing the big three, wouldnt mind seeing exactly how you did it


slim cubby, i didnt install mine but they are set in the top groove, I assume they were installed correctly since they did level the truck ha,

Had some 5100's installed and an alignment done a couple weeks ago on my 09 FX4 screw w/6.5 foot bed by a suspension/alignment shop. Had them set to the 1.5" setting and it leveled out the truck good.

The jury is still out on the ride, seems the cornering is better but it I am getting an extra clunk, clunk noise when I hit bumps on the right side. Wondering if they might of messed up on the alignment or maybe a bad shock. guess I'll take it back and see what they say. I can't imagine there is anyway to install them wrong.
