    honestly not against the Fox
    Probably better company and better ride
    Looks better
    That is the end goal ultimately
    In that case guess I’ll just need to choose 2.0 vs 2.5 which seems like personal preference. Truck is armored and gets loaded.

    thanks
    That 7100 looks same price as the Fox

    might just email Bilstein be like Yo
    Do you have anything that’s like a longer 5160 for this
    Because the catalog didn’t seem to really show

    why not an angle grinder?

    time to start welding it seems. Shop labor one time makes sense but not two three or more times. Esp if it comes out to 10hr which isn’t a problem DIY.

    These two guys gave you the 2 options from Bilstein that would work 5125 or 7100. 7100 is more similar to a 5160 because it has a resi and isnt IFP

    The 7100 exists with and without reservoirs. Just keep in mind the the shock eyelets are thinner compared to other companies and you will need to make spacers for the bolt shock mount. Is was originally going to go this route but ended up going with bilsteins for the front and fox for the rear.
