Dealer installed bilsteins at lowest perch

[got3fords]

Lol yep exact same thing. Dropped it off last night got a call today at lunch saying it was done. If it's that fast they can do it twice!

Did they do an alignment? If so, they will have to repeat it when they get the height right.

I freakin love Bilsteins. The 5100's should go in the Hall of Fame.

To each there own, I've had 5100's on 3 different vehicles and I think they leave alot to be desired. 6112's seem to be promising but I really like the Falcon Shocks. Have them on a work F150 and they are pretty amazing for a replacement shock and not full blown coilover.

Just had my Eibachs installed today, asked the tech for 2" rise and he nailed it, 2" on the dot. Of course this was not a Dealer, it was a Frame & Suspension shop that does a lot of 4X4's.

pics please

Well I dropped the truck off, showed em exactly what I wanted, 4th line on the shock. They're gonna fix it no charge. They keep saying it won't raise it much.

At least your dealer was willing to try the install.
Yesterday I had my truck at the dealer for the oil change/tire rotation. I asked the parts guy to price out the FFP level. He said he can't get the part because its not a ford part and they are not a ford performance dealer. I then showed a pic of the FFP level to the service adviser and asked for an install quote if I supply "these ford approved parts". He told me they do not install lift kits, but if I needed to replace my suspension with factory parts, it'd be about 1200 bucks. He recommended a couple local off-road shops they contract with to install lifts. One of those already quoted me $1100 to install my parts and do the alignment. I wasn't sure why the dealer could install a "factory" front shock/spring assembly, but couldn't install the FFP shock/spring assembly.

That's loony. This dealer charged $750 including alignment.
