These are the P/N's for the 5100's that I'm using on my truck. Maybe it will help.

Front - BE5-6245-H5
Rear - BE5-6246-H5

How do you like your Skyjacker lift? I'm about to install their 4" lift with replacement springs front and rear this weekend. I'll be using the same Bilstein shocks you listed above. I have a dual set-up in the front and single in the rear but may upgrade to duals in the rear if need be.

It is a rougher ride that stock. I don't know if the current lifts ride different, but mine was installed back in '02 by the previous owner. The Bilsteins did help get rid of the "Jeep bounce" that I was experiencing with the shocks that came with the lift. It's not the roughest riding truck I've owned, but it's stiffer than riding in my parent's stock '03 PSD 4x4. My main issue is the expansion joint spacing on many Colorado roads, which makes these trucks bounce around quite a bit even with stock suspension. If I was the one putting the lift on, probably would have gone with the Donahoe kit, but what I have now isn't bad enough to make me swap it out.

I got mine from 4wheelparts.com when I ordered my lift kit but eshocks.com is the cheapest I've found them. 4wheelparts beat eshock's price because I ordered the lift kit.
