    About to pull the trigger but want a double check on the parts here. I see that the bilstein comes with different spring options. My goal is to keep stock height but smooth out the ride. No towing, no rock crawling. It looks like the spring rate for these is 650#. Is that what I want?

    The part number for the 5160:

    Yeah, it seems some dealers only offer one of the spring rates. Pretty sure I need the 600#

    Stick with the 5100’s based on your criteria.

    The bilstein website doesnt list the spring rate.

    Now I am getting more confused looking at various dealers.

    Starting to think that the first dealer simply has a typo with the listed spring rate.
