Question I have a 2008 Nissan Titan 4x4 with a six inch Pro Comp lift and want to change out struts. do I have to buy a whole coil over or can I just use my Factory Spring and just get the billsten 1500 struts. Also after install the back end of the truck is seems lower than the front I've heard of rake, does that mean the back is lower or higher when it has rake?

Yes, you can use your factory springs with the new Bilstein 5100 struts.

You will often hear about "factory rake". This means the front sits lower then the rear, and almost every stock truck will have a rake to it. This is why many companies have made leveling kits to combat the front nose dive.

What you will have with the front being higher then the back is referred to as, "Cali Lean" or "Squat".

If you just put the lift on give it some time to settle in the front. Usually takes a week or two.

Great site, also a TT sponsor. Shoot Mike A a PM on here and he'll give you the hook up.

Not sure if this is an ongoing promo or not, but he was offering Bilstein 5100s on all corners for $340 shipped, with the checkout promo code LiftMe.

Refer to the following thread for the promo code and some info from the man himself, if need be.
