Bilstien 5100s are available for 0-2" lift in the BE5-2818-HO front and BE5-2819-HO rear and 3-6" lift in the BE5-6245-H5 front and BE5-6246-H5 rear. What is the measurement from shock eye to shock eye in the front of your truck with the 2.5" lift?


I like the Bilsteins myself.



I have Rancho 9000s....don't like them as much.




Hope this helps.

The 5100 series are around $75 each and the 5150 which have fixed crossflow reservoir damper are $100 each. 6.5 inches of travel up to 14 inches.

Great ride on either just be sure they are valved for you application when you order them.

I have a bit of a problem, where is a rear shock for a 6" lift? I can only find those 0-2" shocks for the rear. I want to go Bilsteins at every corner. Where can i find some for a 6" Skyjacker lift?

Thanks.
