I'm thinking the 5100 because of the cost difference between them and the fox 2.0's there just way to high for my budget but it would be cool to have the remote reservoir on the 5100s not sure if that's possible or not?

And if those don't work, measure and then pick one of these that fit your needs....

No, you cannot add a reservoir to a 5100 Series shock but you can order a 5160 series shock.

When I was serching the for the 5100s I kept finding the 24-18197 and 33-066868. And according to the catalog were only recommended for up to 4 1/2 of lift. Thanks for correcting me. Serious. Sense the 5100s don't have a option for a remote reservoir is there a alternative bilsteine that does?
