trying to get the 20% stiffer bilstein all around with extended rears.


would anyone be able to confirm

F4BE56216H5 as the rears extended 20% stiffer

and

F4BE36422H0 as the 20% stiffer fronts

thanks.

I don't have the right ones handy but those are not correct. the fronts are not even close.

search over at Xterra Firma they are posted over there.

The ones I have, 20% stiffer with lift;
Front = F4-B46-1099-HO
Rear= F4-B46-2126-HO.

I'm going by this thread
http://xterrafirma.com/index.php?name=P ... ic&p=61486

which says painted ones are HD and plated ones are 5100's and in the past SLR was selling HDs as 5100s


very misleading thread

I just want to do it once and do it right rather buy it and then watch the one i should of bought online for the next 50k miles

That thread, like many on a number of Xterra boards, goes on and on about what is correct but in the end still fails to give you an answer to the original question.

I am far from an expert and only responded with stuff that I have actually done to my truck. You can check the Bilstein site HERE and see that they recommend the same part # that I did except the front is with the stock dampening (H2 instead of H0). H0 is the 20% stiffer that you asked for and will come up as ?Nissan Front?. The # I gave you for the rear will come up as ?Toyota T100 RWD? but it is correct. If you look at the ?notes? for the Xterra recommendations you will see that it says that you use the ?Yellow shock (Bilstein HD), zinc plated shocks are not available for this application?.
So the #?s I gave you are for the 20% stiffer, yellow Bilstein shock with the blue boot that I?ve been running on my lifted ?01 Xterra with Shrock bumpers and a winch for more than 4 years. I bought a set with my lift kit from SLR and bought a set from Summit. At that time they were sold to me as 5100?s. I would rather not get into a debate over on XF (or here) on what they really are because, to tell the truth, I don?t give a shit if they are 5100s or HDs. They work great on my truck brother. I hope that answers your question and therefore helps you out.

Old pictures when my lift was first put on.

It does.

Personally as long as it's go the length, it's firm and fits im happy

but then i read something like this and for all i know i was about to order the part that holds open the cargo hatch.

Thanks again.

I know what you mean; you ask a question and end up more confused than when you started. Some people answer every question posed whether or not they've done the work or ordered the part. Then they hit you with their theories... it drives me crazy. Who really gives a crap, just tell me if it will work on my truck otherwise please shut the f' up.

You can get the rears at Autozone for $59, save the shipping and markup at 4x4parts, the fronts are actually cheaper from AC
