Just the front Bilsteins are adjustable, but they can provide up to 2.8" of lift. This video should explain pretty well how they work. They are fantastic; I love mine.

I run the Bilstein 5100's set to max 2.8 on the front and the upgraded Zone shocks in the rear. I Love mine and I chose to run them because I had a rake after my lift. I would recommend them. It's also cool pulling next to a lifted truck and being taller.

i have the same problem after i had the skyjacker installed.
there is a 4" spacer on top of my shock , and apperantly skyjacker dont have a fix for the rake.
so can these be combined with the spacer ?
theorytically <sp> the suspension travel is no worse than if it was used without a lift installed ,right?
BTW ,nice forum

I don't see why it would not work. I would call Skyjacker for that anwser to be sure. I had a .8" spacer I had to remove to install mine but I'm not 100% sure with a 4".

Mine are coming too! So for now, can't give you any feedback on them.
I know one thing. I sure as hell am anxious to get them!

Yep my receipt says 11/15 thru 11/21 and I wish I would have seen that before clicking the damned button.
But what the hell it saved me $60.00 from ordering elsewhere. I guess I can wait.

i did,
they were LESS than helpful and borderline hateful about me not happy with their setup and work of one of their reps.
i asked to order what they said i needed ,THEN they referred me back to the guys who did the install to begin with.
guess they did not understand that i was NOT happy with the installer and i was at a loss.
now here i sit trying to fix what i did NOT intend to work on.
LOL
