I have a '13 LE and I am following your build. Can't wait to see whats next for the front bumper. I hope it's a hidden winch so I can get you to help me when it's my turn :-).

Yeah the Billies work great for what they are. I just wanted something with more adjustability and a setup that allowed a little more travel. The 5160s are a bit short so they limit rear axle travel a bit. Also had one shock blow out after only about 50 miles on pavement
luckily Bilstein replaced it.
I would be more than happy to help you install a winch when you're ready. I will actually be installing my bumper in probably 2-3 weeks if you want to swing by to see what it's like. Could also use a second set of hands!
