I got that email. I replied with a thank you the same day I got it. I can't do anything with the pic though, it won't let me resize or edit of any kind.

OK, I'm going with Bilstein 5100's. I was ordering tonight and noticed a "special/warning" note that read the compression bump stop might need to be modified to avoid damage to the shock.

Anyone with Bilstein 5100's on a lifted/leveled truck have this issue?

Bilstein 5100 shocks, TopGun Customz dual steering stabilizer w/Billstein 5100's, and TopGun Customz 1" block kit are ordered for the truck.:happy107:

Got tracking info that my shocks will be here tomorrow...that was fast. But, I have to wait on the other parts from TopGunCustomz. Apparently they do not keep the blocks and dual stabilizer brackets on the shelf, they make them after their ordered. So, they will ship 7 - 10 from order date. That sucks!

Well, shocks arrived last Friday or Monday, 1" block kit came today, and according to UPS tracking, the dual steering stabilizer setup will be here tomorrow. Install on Saturday if all goes as planned.

Bilstein is worth the extra cost. These shocks will last for several years.
