Me and Duane have been trying to find out the information on the 5100 bilstein shocks.
basically i will be taking out the front spacer out and lowing the rear 2inches. been trying to find out if the 5100s are the right shock height for the rears.
if they are not then ill probably have to get miss matched shocks which i really dont want to do.

any information would be appreciated!

thanks
Nick

I think you can use those shocks even if it's lowered 2" in the back, anything more than that and you need lowering shocks. But I guess you might just have to go out on a whim and try them and if they dont work you could always resell them

I might try that. Im just is a weird spot cause im only lowering the rear. And without lowering the front im sure if they dont work im gonna have to miss match the shocks... And i really dont want to do that...

But i really need to redo my front end. Everything is gonna get replaced now. Im hearing too much noise in the front end. And $20 says its because i went off roading... Never again. Not in my truck. Shes gonna be a street queen from now on.

Bilstien is located in SanDiego California and their engineering department is very helpful in getting the right length shock..............Larry
