What’s the model number on the front set? I have these on my FJ for 10 years and love them.

I had 5100 Bilsteins on my FJCruiser for 10 years and about 140k miles and they worked very well. HOWEVER, the galvanized coating is no match for Northeast winters. The first winter they were about half corroded. The second winter they were one big rusty mess. (this picture was after 4 years and about 60k miles)

My 5100s came in, now if my next Bronco would show up!

Figured I would post a few pictures of the shock. The welds at the eyelets look bad, but hey it's made in America!

Mine showed up today, very pleased. Instructions say to drop the lower front mounting bolts in from the top. I'm considering reversing, inserting bolts from beneath with nut on top, to avoid those hang down exposed threads like on the OEM's. Can you think of any negatives to this? Well, other than if they come completely loose the bolts will fall out, but I think I'd notice before that....

Got these installed on my base 4 door and aligned today just some things of note if you are going a similar path with installing these.

Part numbers for the 4 door are
24-313971 for the front shock
24-313988 for the rear shock

At max height for the non sasquatch shocks (clip #5 per the instructions) the tire shop was unable to get caster in spec as the vehicle was at maximum adjustment. This was with 35" bfg k02s. The rest of the values were able to be placed in spec and the vehicle drives straight with no issues worth noting.

Interesting, I managed more caster and I stacked a spacer front and rear.
