Yes, I would highly recommend the bilsteins. They made a huge difference when I did the level kit. Since then, I have done a 4" lift and the ride is quite a bit more stiff. The shocks are definitely worth the $$$.

I have the 5100s and they are great. I did some shopping around and bought two of them from AJUSA and two from Amazon to get the cheapest price.

Yup.........5100's. And you want the 2" extral length 5100's.
I first used the regular length 5100's (blue and yellow) and they were ok. But the nickle plated longer bilstein's make a big difference.
I believe that is what Geno's offers.

8lugtruckgear put together a "Set" that can be had for the same amount as Geno's. And no worry about ordering the wrong part number

5100's only come in silver, if you had the blue and yellow ones they weren't 5100's but the Billstein "HD" shocks.
