Just a word of warning
I have a 2012 st d40 with tjm outback bar and 9500 pound winch, totaling close to 90kgs+
I've been talking to Kirk from 4wd1. In his experience 5100 are are good (only) for light-weight "sports truck" applications (no winch) and when fitted to factory original coils.
While the internal build-quality of the Biltein struts is superb, the units locating points (mounting points) are only original spec. With up rated strut damper, up rated coils and extra weight, you really need strut units that are over-engineered at all mounting/bushing locations.
He then goes on to say that tough dog foam-cell struts which certainly meet the category.
