Coz...how do you like the Bilstein 5100s?

I'm fixing to do a 2 inch level and wanted to go ahead and do these shocks. would you recommend?

i really like them. the only other shocks i can compare them to is the stock shocks and the crappy skyjacker ones i had. these are ten times better than either of them. i would get them again.

lol thanks mike! yea i had a little leak on the bottom of the diff so i had to pull the cover to reseal it. figured i would try and clean everything up with some brake cleaner while i was at it.
 
Also while I'm waiting for the primer to dry I decided to clean up my rear axle and paint it so it doesn't look like shit from all the rust.

So happy with how it turned out! The factory color I ordered from automotive touch up (thanks overlander for the suggestion) came out great!

Also I got my rocker skins back from sandblasting and powder coat today. Looks like the east coast struggles are real. I really hate rust! Yes my rocker skins are now pitted :(

Rings look great Steve! Sorry about your skins. We can bang those up on the 20th and then you'll hardly notice the pitting. It was good talking to you yesterday.
 
Ahhh they sand blasted and didn't call you about the pitting? :grayno:

I would have rather(if this were the result after blasting) put some body filler down and rattle can em.
