Bilsteins/Skyjacker

[CFAR]

Off Road Warehouse



Just bought 4 Bilsteins

and the Skyjacker Leveling springs.



Most places want between 130. 00 and 180. 00 for just spacers.



I paid 65. 99 each for the shocks, and 160. 00 for the springs.



BE5-6681-H5-front// BE5-6681-H5-rear shocks for a truck with a 2" leveling kit, the stock repacements were 58. ?? ea



Good price or not?

At Jack-It I paid less for the springs ($140 I believe) but more for the shocks ($75 each)



No worries though service was spectacular and I got the new Zinc coated Bilsteins instead of those ugly yellow and blue ones.



IMHO you should look at getting the DT Trac bar or a relocating bracket for your stock trac bar or your axle end will be sticking out furthur on the drivers side by about an inch.

Where did you get the DT trackbar? Mac T

I did a search, also I called John at Luke's Link. From what I could gather the offset towards the drivers side will not be noticable, nor adversely affect the handling of the truck.



Anyone want to weigh in on this?

It was very noticable to me, but probably the general public wouldn't notice. It's that every little flaw in a truck is noticable to the owner, eh? BUT... it also tends to make more rocks beat the driver's side of the truck.



Didn't think it affected handling, but it should have because the truck is crabwalking slightly.
