Test Drive
I know I know, I'm full of questions.
So! My new to me 03 X bounce away on any crackd on the road. Like feeling dangerously unstable at most bumps. Im used to my lowered car suspension and X are different but... Most probably the shocks are from factory and are shot.
Since i gotta change them, might as well put some good shocks right? I wanted to lift the suspension a bit to better clear the mud and put bigger wheels on later. I've found this setup on
https://www.4x4parts.com/i-18981185...on-package-w-5100-series-bilstein-shocks.html
All nice and dandy I thought! But then I checked the budget. With my body repair and the idle problem and window motor to consider... the lift will have to wait. They sell the same lift kit without the shocks after all.
The big question is this : would the blisteon 5100 fit my unlifted 03 X and after that bolt on the lift kit? Can I do it in 2 stages? Coz I really need shocks before winter and I rather not buy throwaway set and replace in a year..
