😮 that is way more than what I need haha. Crazy!

Let’s just say thicker sleeves/bushings will probably be offered on the Bilstein 8100s now. (By the way Bilstein and AEV have been very supportive.)

Does anyone know of an aftermarket replacement or source on factory ones? Thanks, Mike

Hey all, for all you running this setup how is your Bak Revolver holding up to the added weight on the t-slots? There's not much to the support brackets for the Tonneau, but I imagine most of the weight is distributed over the bed sides/rails. Thanks, Mike

Just updating this thread. Bilstein has been a pleasure to work with. New thicker/sleeves supplied. I can’t imagine this not being a change for them moving forward. Mike

Let’s not forget the JT370s (37s and re-gear) that AEV builds which are sold NEW on dealer lots.

Make sure to include a regear in your budget. At least 4.88s.

Save more and get what you want the first time.

Just had this issue. You could try disconnecting and cleaning the connector but it’s probably coming from the magnet inside. I also had a gear change about 3,000 miles ago. Gear oil was drained at 500 miles after regear. Maybe more metal particles caused sensor to fail maybe just coincidence...

Awesome, thank you for the details and pictures!

Looks great. They have the code for 40% off right now (USA24). Really looking at these. Are they wide enough for a foot? Is there enough material at the back end near the rear tire/wheel well to stand on and get items from the back of the truck? Thanks!

Check out Topper Tent. It extends your sleeping area.

I'm currently running the AEV XP8100s. I'm pretty sure they are the same measurements. Love everything about the lift and shocks except the sleeves in the rear. The Bilstein tuning with the AEV springs are incredible. Check out my post from May 25th in the below thread. I'm currently working...

Could you please add the Bilstein 8100 smooth bodies to the chart? 2-3" Front Collapsed 17.38" Extended 27.20" 3-4.5" Front Collapsed 18.22" Extended 28.89" 2-4.5" Rear (yes only one rear) Collapsed 17.57" Extended 29.33" Thank you, Mike

Thank you!

Do you have a link to those 14mm bushing washers?

I think you hit the nail on the head. The hanger compresses so much it makes the sleeve not square anymore which pushes it into the already bigger holes. Thanks for the tip!

I was thinking the same thing! I heard a clicking noise that’s what alerted me to it. Noise doesn’t happen during normal driving just off-road during quick shaft speed events or going off a curb.

They’ve already replaced the shocks and it’s doing it again. We will see what they come up with.

@Badunit you are not the only one this is happening to. Recently installed an AEV kit with the Bilstein 8100s and I’m having the same issue in the rear. I personally think the OD of the sleeve is too close in size to the ID of the factory shock mount hole which is causing it to slip in and crush...
