i finished installing the bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks and ill post more pictures after i get off work, i am going to be putting 1 inch blocks in tonight and i will take some more pictures after that is done also, so far i am impressed with the shocks the ride seems the same as stock if not better. i took it down whoop trail yesterday for a test and it seemed like the shocks were a little softer than the stock and it rode a lot better. The shocks make the front end a little bit higher than the back so the blocks are probably needed for it to be level, if you have any questions feel free to ask
i just ordered mine along with some 285/65/18 at ko's. now i gotta decide if i want to get some new 18's, or have my stock ones and my e&g classic grill powder coated black or gun metal grey.

that will look sick if you powder coat them black, theres a blue truck where i live leveled out with black rims and a black grill and it looks pretty bad@$$, are you putting in the shocks yourself?
hey mclovinr all you did was install the bilstein shocks and you got 2.5'' lift ? i'm thinking about lifting my truck but don't want to spend a boatload can you give me some more info ?

Dang, you got me interested in the 5100 bilsteins too lol, nice and cheap way to get a little lift safely. How do you guys think the moto metal 951b (the black wheel) would look on a blue streak tundra? And would I have to change out my stock BFG's for the moto metal wheel? Sorry to go off topic, but when you said there was a blue truck with black wheels... made me think there ain't any blue streak trucks I've seen with black wheels and I like black wheels but wasan't sure how they look on a blue streak tundra. Anyways keep this thread going I want to see how it goes for you all. Oh yeah and btw your thread title says "1500" not "5100" just a heads up hehe.
