Attempted to install 5100s on rear of our 2018 XLT Max yesterday. It's a 12hr story of swearing and sweating and disappointment that I will spare everyone for now.
Basic question is did anyone that did this themselves have similar shock length difference using stock height setting? The Bilstein was enough longer for me that the stock springs really doesn't have much preload at all. With suspension at full droop I can move the spring slightly. It's tight but not by much.
Ride height seems correct/stock. Hard to give judgement on ride because I only got the one installed so far
