I'll try to keep this brief...

I wanted to fit 5100 shocks front/rear and asked a supplier in the UK to source them for me. They got the rear 5100, and awaited weeks for the front shocks only to have the order cancelled by bilstein due to stock issues. I went searching myself only to be let down by a number of companies in the US.

I ended up buying the 4600 shock for the front which i had fitted (stock length).

I still have the 5100 rear shocks (24-185783) as the plan was to level the truck. Can they be fitted without effecting the height of the truck.

I think the answer is yes but would like a 2nd opinion.

The rear shocks dont change the height - they just allow 1" of extra lift.
