Hi guys, just wondering if anyone knows what part number I need for the rear shocks. I have a 6" front, 3" rear Zone lift. I just put Bilsteins on the front, removed the preload spacer from Zone, and set the Bilsteins at 2.1 which levels my truck. I just ordered a pair of Top Gun Customs 1" spacers for the rear so I have a little rake. Problem is, the bilstein website, and every other truck website I looked at, doesn't tell you which shock you need for a lifted truck. They all only have one for 0-1" rear lift. Any ideas? Or does nobody really ever replace the rear shocks? Will the Zone shocks still work with the 1" spacer installed or cause problems? Thanks!

The new Zone coils were for 3 inches, plus the 1 inch spacer, so I should need shocks for 4 inch lift right or am I missing something...

Ive searched online and came up with nothing. Found something better though.

Fox 2.0 from BDS for 6 inch lift trucks. Part number 98224759.

There only 15 dollars each more then the 5100s and there a better shock.

Ya, I searched for several hours and couldn't find anything. I did see Bilsteins application guide listing all their shocks and the specs. They even have a listing for a lifted 2500 but nothing for the 1500.

Thanks for the info on the Fox shocks, I'll check them out! $15 more is really nothing, just wish I would have know before I bought the Bilsteins for the front, maybe I would have gotten the Fox for the front too so they would have matched! lol

The foxs for the front only go from 0-2" were as the bilsteins go from 0-2.8", and the foxs for the front are very expensive. Lifted applications are 1300+(pair), leveling ones if i recall correctly are around 500 (pair).
