Excellent shocks, I stalled these on the highest setting and installed raptor takeoff wheels with 33 tires at the same time. Excellent ride height level, the rips is also greatly improved. The truck feels very stable. I highly recommend these shocks.

These shocks are fantastic. I set mine at 1.75 and the stance is perfect. I am amazed that the truck actually stands a little taller,yet it now handles almost like a new mustang gt. And the guys from Stage 3 seem to be the absolute best to deal with.

Billy's work great as expected. Reduced the roll and bounciness while keeping a smooth ride. I set the fronts in the middle groove. Says 1.25 lift but got about 1.375, which works great for me. Still have about ? of rake. Rears are a easy to install. Fronts take a bit more effort than usual thanks to Ford changing the mount style of the bottoms. Great price from Stage3 and fast shipping.

Great alternative to spacers. I used 3 spring compressors (2 sets) to distribute the tension to get the springs to compress. Set them at 1.75 since I did not want to much spring preload. Rides great. Did it all in about 2.5 hours, taking my time.

Local garage installed estimated 4 hours done in 3. On the road performance is standard. Of road is nice. Mostly dirt road2 tracks. The washboard roads are smoothed out. These shocks and struts keep the tires on the ground. I chose the middle level-1.25 and the truck is at 1 I have 1 inch of take front to rear and looks great and rides better

Great replacement to factory, ride is stiffer, handles more like a sports car. Make sure you have spring compressors sized for the job, you will end up having to compress the spring a bit more to install the Bilstein on the tallest notch (2.5”), than you did to release the factory shock from the spring.

I love the ride quality of these struts and shocks over the stock ride. Set at the 2 highest setting truck is almost level. Took me about an hour to replace the front struts and about 15 min to do the rear shocks, with that in mind I have access to a lift and also am an auto technician for a living. Would highly rec over a strut spacer.

These shocks are a great upgrade. The truck does not have that shimmy over bumps in the rear. And it tightens up the front nice. Great upgrade. Only way to go on a budget with wanting a 2 inch front lift. Don’t bother with spacers. Do this and get performance out of your upgrade.

First I would like to mention that using the spring compression tool was a first for me and a little sketchy at first but by the second one I felt better about it. I did level the front end 1.75" with this kit and the ride quality has made a significant change for the better. The quality of the product is excellent and the price I found to be unbeatable. I'm sure you could get a cheaper product but you will get what you pay for. Great product I would absolutely recommend and would buy again.

Great product and price was good as well. Install is fairly easy if you had basic auto skills. Biggest issue I had was compressing the springs on the F-150 recommend renting 2 sets of spring compressors to safely compress these, ultimately had to take to friends shop to compress. Total work time probably 5 hours. Definitely recommend.

Truck has 105k, and got new tires and this kit. With the fronts set at second to highest setting the truck is now level. Ride quality is much improved over factory, and would say a bit firmer than the factory suspension (using stock coils). If you have a higher mileage vehicle this is a fairly inexpensive way to improve ride and handling.

Just did the rears. Took about 35 minutes total to do both sides. Did the entire install with 2 wrenches an 18mm and a 15mm. You can compress the shock with your hands and slide the bolt right into place. Very easy. I will let the garage do the fronts. The ride is definitely more predictable but not softer. I am looking forward to doing the fronts to see what the whole kit feels like.

At 83,000 miles the stock shocks were worn. I researched and read that Bilstein 5100s were a high end mono, that offered superior control and ride. I've had them on for 500 miles and agree the control is excellent. 5100s are on the firm side, like a sports car shock. The ride is not stiff, but it's not soft and smooth, either. They are not rough, but definitely firm. 5100s are a trade off. I wish Old Man Emu made shocks for my F150. I had them on a Jeep and was hoping the 5100s would be similar. Overall, I'm please with the 5100s. They are an excellent shock, but they are much more firm than stock.

I installed these shocks prior to embarking on a 2 week 5800 mile road trip including over 1200 miles of off-roading through Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota. They performed amazingly on all road conditions, controlled rebound, and did not beat up my wife and I as we travelled through some of the most beautiful backroads in this country. I could not be more pleased with these 5100s on this truck. As a reference, I previously had a 2011 Ford Raptor so it takes a lot to impress me. I'm impressed.

Swapped my factory shocks at 95k miles for these bilsteins. I was expecting a bit of a better ride actually. Didn't think it made a difference. They do help with rear end bounce. One big thing! They are narrower on the bushings than oem. I tried to tighten them down really well at first but got a good shutter/rattle after a bit. Read one guy put a washer on each end to make up for it. I was unable to do this as I actually bent the brackets tightening them the first time. I just retightened them and reapplied LOCTITE. So far this has helped. Have not installed the fronts yet.

Customer Question 2014 f150 installed at the stock height and got 1+ lift on the left side and 2+ on the right side. I r&r the right side to check shock c clip position and the spring indexes now I have 1 1/2 (39 1/4 and 37 3/4) different heights right to left. Any suggestions how to correct this?

Asked by: Tim - 1/25/2024
Customer Answer Unless you are seeing physical differences in the length of the Bilstein shocks themselves from a manufacture boxing error, you are most likely dealing with either a suspension binding issue from installation error, or you have worn out coil springs that need replacing.

Customer Question If I get the 5100 kit for my 14 F150 what all would I need to order to have all “new” parts? Would it just be the strut mount kit, coil springs and shock boots?

Asked by: Jackson - 9/19/2023
Customer Answer This kit is just the cartridges, so you would need to source lower spring mounts, the coil springs, and upper mounts. Bilstein does not recommend using the factory dust boots with their struts, and you will most likely have issues with the boots fitting between the strut body and springs as the 5100 are larger in diameter than factory struts.

Customer Question so i already have the 2.5 rough country leveling kit cause it came with the truck, can i still install these shocks into the rough country strut or do i need the stocks ones which i don’t have unfortunately

Asked by: alex gtz - 9/5/2023
Customer Answer These are designed to work with the factory springs and mounts so we could not guarantee they would work with the aftermarket Rough Country parts. I would recommend sourcing a used set of oem struts you can pull the parts from, or going with the 6112, and just buying upper mounts at your local parts house.

Customer Question The rears would they work with my current 3" block?

Asked by: Don - 6/1/2022
Customer Answer The Bilstein 5100s are not long enough to handle a 3" rear block. If you're running a 3" rear block, your best bet would be the Eibach Pro-Kit System that includes rear shocks that can handle up to 1.5" of rear lift and will handle your 3" rear block.

Customer Question I have my front struts set at 1.75”. What’s the maximum tire size recommended? Thanks

Asked by: Nick - 8/23/2021
Customer Answer That depends entirely on what wheel you're using, specifically its width, backspacing, and offset. It will also depend on whether you're willing to do any valance trimming. If you're using the stock wheels, you can generally clear up to a 33x11.50" and avoid rubbing issues at the 1.75" ride height setting.

Asked by: Alex - 7/6/2021
Customer Answer That really depends on the condition of the springs. If they still have their finish and low amounts of surface rust, they'll likely be fine to use at 55,000 miles.

Customer Question I currently have 2.5" coil spacers and the truck is barely level. I dont want the front end to be any lower than the 2.5". Since the max lift on these Bilsteins is 2.1", can I run a 1" coil spacer on top of these? Its a 2014 FX4

Asked by: Jettechn - 9/13/2020
Customer Answer In theory, you could, if you can find a 1" strut spacer that doesn't require stud trimming. Your better bet may be to use the Bilsteins on their .79" ride height setting and then top them off with a 2" leveling spacer. At that height, you may want to consider an aftermarket UCA, especially if you're going to be using your truck off-road.

Customer Question Looking at Bilstein 5100 set for 2014 f150. Mainly highway use do tow camper approx 6k lbs and car hauler trailer occasionally. Would the 5100 be best option? Would like to stay near stock rake due to pulling camper. Currently have one size taller 10 ply LT 70 series tires vs factory p 65s 18s. Maybe the .75 setting would work well even though it is probably not the most used setting? Also, do most people go ahead change the strut mounts and coil springs while replacing struts with this kit since they aren't "preloaded". Do you sell coil springs and strut mounts for the Bilstein 5100 kit?

Asked by: Tyler - 8/4/2020
Customer Answer If you're mainly on the highway, then the Bilstein 5100s would likely be ideal if your stock shocks and struts have seen better days. You can use the front struts at the .75" setting if you want to preserve some rake for towing, though you could potentially stick with a 0" setting if you're clearing your current tires without issues and the lack of preload should get you a pretty smooth ride. As for replacing the upper mounts, isolators, and hardware, some folks do either because they live in areas that use salt in the winter and all that stuff has seen better days or because they want an easier install while their shop puts together the coilover assembly for them. It's really up to you and the condition of the stock hardware. Unfortunately, we do not currently sell OEM springs, mounts, or hardware.

Customer Question On this page, a question is answered about rear shock travel saying that people use the 5100s with a 3" block plus 1.5" add a leafs and don't have problems, but on the readylift add a leaf page, a question is answered saying the rear 5100s shouldn't be used with even just a 1.5" add a leaf. So would just installing an add a leaf on a stock 2014 4x4 with the rear 5100s be okay?

Asked by: Kyle - 4/22/2020
Customer Answer Bilstein changed their ride height recommendations in the intervening years versus just providing extended and collapsed lengths. According to Bilstein, the 5100s only support up to 1" of ride height, and they won't handle a 1.5" add-a-leaf kit. You would need to go with Eibach Pro-Trucks, which are rated for 1.5" of height over stock, or another shock option.

Customer Question I have purchased this exact set meant for a 4wd. I have a 2wd and have read a lot of reviews saying they would work but might need to add a block in the rear to level. What would be a good setting for the front struts to not have to add a rear block, but still level out the front of the 2wd and get rid of that hideous factory rake?

Asked by: TB - 2/1/2020
Customer Answer It's tough to say, since we haven't tried it ourselves. From what we heard, the RWD trucks get roughly .5" of extra ride height over what the 4WD trucks are rated for. Using the struts at their 1.75" setting should keep some of your rake.

Customer Question What setting on the front is recommended if I add 1.5” rear blocks?

Asked by: Chip - 6/22/2019
Customer Answer It really depends on what you're doing and how much rake you want. Secondly, if you're adding 1.5" rear blocks, are you adding OE-style blocks to a truck that currently has no blocks or are you adding a 1.5" rear blocks as a stacked setup?

Customer Question I'm a bit apprehensive about the truck's weight constantly being forced down on just a tiny thin c-clip. Really not ready to go this route because of it. Change my mind!

Asked by: Dave - 4/22/2019
Customer Answer C-clips work fine handling shear force, and as long as they're properly installed and you don't push them off-road. It's not impossible for them to fail, but it's extraordinarily rare. If you're concerned, you should just go with a complete coilover assembly.

Customer Question If I set this at one of the top two settings will I have to worry about my balljoint angle?

Asked by: Tom - 4/10/2019
Customer Answer Setting the 5100s at their 2.10" ride height will throw off your UCA angles, but in our experience, that much leveling does not have a huge effect on balljoint or UCA lifespans.

Customer Question So these struts can level the truck using the stock front spring? Also if I add the rear shocks will the height of the rear remain the same?

Asked by: Benjamin - 9/30/2018
Customer Answer The 5100 front strut assemblies reuse the stock spring and use an adjustable snap-ring perch to add ride height. The rear shocks do not add any ride height, but can handle up to an additional 1" of height from a larger rear block. Only bigger blocks, add-a-leafs, shackles, or new leaf packs can add rear ride height.

Customer Question Can you change the height of the front strut with the assembly still installed on the truck?

Asked by: Jason - 7/8/2018
Customer Answer You may be able to with the right spring compressor, but we DO NOT recommend it. The F150 coil springs are pretty stiff, and we strongly recommend using a wall-mount or floor mount spring compressor, which will require removing the strut assembly from the truck.

Customer Question What front springs do you recommend? I’m planning on a 4” lift with these shocks for better ride quality.

Asked by: Garvin - 4/24/2018
Customer Answer While you can use the front strut assemblies with a 4" lift kit, you'd need to use a factory spring and use a lift kits strut spacer for proper fitment. However, you will not be able to reuse the rear shocks at all, since they are not long enough to be used in a standalone application with a 4" lift kit. If you'd like a Bilstein rear shock that can handle a 4" lift, then take a look at their semi-universal 5125 rear shock.

Customer Question Do the rear shocks add any height to the factory height? From what I've seen at the 1.75" setting there is still a slight rake and at the 2.10" the front sits taller. Some have said at 2.10" the truck sits level because the rear shocks add 1", any clarification would help looking to be as level as possible while gaining 2"in front, thanks.

Asked by: Tom - 4/4/2018
Customer Answer Rear shocks do not add any ride height. The only way these trucks gain any ride height at all is with larger rear blocks and add-a-leaf kits. On the 2014 F150s, 2.10" of ride height should still result in some amount of front rake. In our opinion, it takes a 2.5" leveling kit to get the 2009-2014 F150s to a "dead-level" stance.

Customer Answer With the strut assemblies set at their .79" ride height setting or taller, you should not have a problem clearing those particular tires on most wheel options.

Customer Question I have a 6" BDS lift and my truck currently sits 3/4" lower in the rear. I want to add an add-a-leaf in the rear and 5100s on the first or second setting to get a better shock and a little lift. Will they work with what I have in mind and have enough travel?

Asked by: Tom - 10/12/2017
Customer Answer While you can use the front coilover assemblies in conjunction with a 6" lift with a strut spacer, the rear shocks included in this package are not long enough to handle a lift kit. You'll also need to make sure your driveshaft isn't pulling too far out of its yoke, and you may need to grab a main driveshaft spacer in order to add both an add-a-leaf and taller coilover assembly to your truck. You'll also want to keep an eye on your brake lines and ensure that they aren't overly stretched.

Customer Question I have 2014 F150STX 4x4. Tires are 275/55-20. What setting would you use to level the front?

Asked by: BQ - 8/30/2017
Customer Answer In general, it takes 2.5" of leveling to get these trucks to a "dead-level" stance. If you want your truck as leveled as possible, your best bet would be to use the highest 2.10" ride height setting if you want to get your truck as close to level as possible.

Customer Question I just ordered these and am trying to figure out which setting to go with. I am looking at either the +1.25 or the +1.75 settings. I want to run 275/70 18 tires. Which setting should I choose?

Asked by: Jayson Harrison - 7/29/2017
Customer Answer For a tire that tall, you'd probably wand to stick with the +1.75" ride height setting or higher.

Customer Question I have a 14 f150 4x4 I currently have a 2.5 in leveling kit but wanna upgrade the shocks can I use my spacer with those leveling struts if I set the struts like 1 notch higher and add my 2.5 spacer on top with that ?

Asked by: Brandon - 7/11/2017
Customer Answer We don't really recommend using the Bilstein 5100s with a spacer unless you're planning on using them at their 0" stock ride height to only gain a performance and handling improvement.

Customer Question Will these put any extra stress on any suspension parts or bushings? Or is the 2" of lift not enough to worry about?

Asked by: Shawn - 7/9/2017
Customer Answer Leveling your truck does throw off its suspension geometry to at least some extent, though in general, 2" or is not enough to cause excessive wear or long-term issues with your truck's suspension components.

Customer Question I have a 2014 ecoboost 2wd. This kit shows it is only for 4wd. Do you have a package for the 2wd trucks too?

Asked by: Clinton - 6/26/2017
Customer Answer Unfortunately, Bilstein does not currently offer a specific kit for the 2014 F150s RWD/2WD models. However, you can technically use this kit mean for 4WD models on your truck, you will just get slightly more front lift than what they're rated for on the 4WD models, and you'd likely want to add a 1.5" rear block to get the rear shocks into their more optimal operating range.

Customer Question It looks like the front struts pictured have the lower mount for the 09-13 trucks but this kit is for the 2014s correct?

Asked by: Ryan - 6/3/2017
Customer Answer We currently only have good images of the older-style clevis mounts, however, this particular kit will come with correct bar-pin lower mount for the 2014 F150s.

Customer Question Would I be able to fit 275/65r20 tires on the factory FX4 20's without any issue?

Asked by: Colin - 3/15/2017
Customer Answer You'd likely get at least some amount of rub on the inner wheel well when turning and articulating at the same time. The biggest tire we generally recommend with 2-2.5" leveling kits is a 33x11.50".

Customer Question I have a 2014 4WD Reg Cab with stock 20s and I'm wondering if I'll be able to fit 34s on them without rubbing with the front shocks set at the 1.26 or will I have to go up to the 2.1?

Asked by: Austin - 2/9/2017
Customer Answer In general, you'll need to be at the 2.10" ride height to avoid rubbing while trying to fit 34s. Even then, whether or not you'll rub is going to depend on the width of the tire, as well as its height.
