So after confirming, multiple times, with Bilstein the proper part numbers for new shocks, I pulled the trigger and ordered. The part numbers given to me were 24-069281 (front) and 24-025508 (rear). Received them today and compared to old. The rears matched length exactly. The fronts were short by about 6".
I called Bilstein and reconfirmed the part numbers, checked them against the boxes and the shocks themselves, all were correct. They then stated that I must have bought a lifted truck. I'm the original owner and the only 'lift' is the torsion keys for 1.5" to level it out. They then stated that I must have a one-off truck. Yeah, the manufacturer changed the line just to weld up my truck.
Has anyone seen this issue before?
The longer one is the rear. The OEM front is 3" longer than the rear.
