Changing out the shocks on my Z71 with Bilstein 5100s. Do I need to change the springs to be able to utilize the lifting capability of them?

You want to replace your new struts with new struts?

I didn’t when I put them on my 4Runner.

Nah, that’s the whole point. You get the lift just changing the shock and not the whole strut.

The 5100 has a snap ring and 4 grooves to set the preload on your front coils and provide a little lift. You do not have to change coils. Might need to get heavier coils if you are toting a heavy bumper,winch, etc.
