I just got the version for a lifted silverado. Won't be able to install them until I get home in a few weeks though

I don't recall ever reading anything bad about them, based on passed experience with Billstein they are a little stiff riding..

Been running them for two months now, wheeled with them installed 3 times already. Overall, they are amazing for the high speed stuff, talking about doing 60 mph on the beach and over 70 mph in the desert, no fade at all even when its very rough!

Im running them on an alpha, which has a heavier front end than the I5 though...

I just got these in this week, might get them in tonight, might have to wait until Sat... I'll update when I do to help save/build up the suspense

I would mount the remote reservoir in the wheel well rather than piggyback style as shown. (I have the Fox piggybacks & busted 2 sets at the front when it rotates & hit the "A" arm)

I thought in the front it was recommended to install on the frame rail but I have seen one installed onto the hard plastic wheel liner. Where are you saying is the optimal place? Just curious to help when I do the install

This is how mine is installed, im running only a body lift.

Thanks, it may have been yours I saw a picture of originally. I might just copy you on that location

I was worried that it would get in the way or that the braided hose would rub too much if it was in that orientation.... I am going to revisit this on Sat but perhaps that the way to go (with large washers on the back side so it won't pull through

Ive actually installed larger washers on the back so that it wldnt rip through, and it feels very sturdy. As for the braided part rubbing, some rubber isolators can be wrapped around so that it wldnt rub on the shock housing

From what I have read, the 5160's will be my next purchase. I just wish they made a matching rear set for the T.

Did mine the same way yesterday
