Bilstein 5100 Ride Height Adjustable !?
Anyone whit these?

On their website they said : Snap ring grooves on shock body provide up to 2.75" of front end lift (depending on application)
Will that be more safe for the front end than cranked T-Bar ?
And they say they have a matching set for the rear end, that add 1-2 inch travel..
I have a 2010 FX4, already bought Belltech 6400s shackles (not installed) and now i hesitate for the suspension.. I don't know if i should crank my T-Bar + proper lenght 5100 alone, or maybe a combinaison of both!? 5100 adjustable set at 2inch + T-bar cranked 1 inch?

Last I remembered they dont make the 5100s for the front of our trucks. What I would do for the front would be swap your torsion keys for a set from an 07 or older ranger. That should give you a net gain of about an inch to an inch and a half. Search on the site for the "pre key mod" that should answer some questions for you.

Ok.. i miss somthing then.. 5100 only made for 2wd? I don't want to crank those keys without putting a longer shock... so should i go with Bilstein HD or something like that? What lenght (or part #) do i need if i crank the key 2 inchs? And for the rear end, i just read that 5100 will fit, so that be perfect with my shackles..

Correct. When you crank the torsion bars it dosent allow any more down travel thank stock so longer shocks or shock spacers are not needed.
