Re: Bilstein 5100 on lowered titan
I'm subcribing. I have been heavily looking at the Bilstiens myself. I had decided on the BST Heavy Duty, but I've heard good reviews about the 5100's (and saw the buy 3 get one free deal). It was my impression that the 5100's are for stock or 2" lift in the front/1" lift in the back Titans. I wonder if they are both just as good as each other. Remember your going to save about $32 on the BST's anyway cause they are about $8 cheaper per shock. I like to race so I wonder which is better for streetable performance.

Re: Bilstein 5100 on lowered titan
The front is not a problem, with a 4" drop in the rear you should look for a shorter length shock. Greg at PRG hooked me up with Bilstein 5125s with 21" extended length. They are the same size shock from an Xterra, and all he did was change the eye of the shock to fit the Titan.

Re: Bilstein 5100 on lowered titan
Yeah I've got 51k and the last 21k has been on washboard dirt roads, so I'm sure mine are shot out too. I think I will be going with the HD's too

Re: Bilstein 5100 on lowered titan
Does anyone else have an opinion on this? I am still unsure whether to get the HD or the 5100 series Bilstein's. I have the McGauphy's 2/3 drop with PRG shackles which makes 2/4 overall. My goal is to eliminate the front end from bottoming out all the time.
