Unhappy Bilstein 5150

I'm gonna slap down the money for 4 Bilstein 5150's to go with a 6" Superlift for the truck in my sig. I called one place to see which shocks I would need and the guy gave me the model numbers for 5100 series. I've been digging around looking for 5150's and I don't know which ones to get. How much travel is going to be needed for the 5150's? The options are 10, 11, 12, 14, 6.5, and 8.5 inches of travel and I have NFC what to get. Help!

Terry

Travel does not relate to what shocks you need. How much travel the suspension will cycle is determined by the shocks in direct correlation to how you have your suspension set up.With a six inch lift i would recommend the tens up front and twelves out back.
