Bilstein Help
Im looking at getting some Bilsteins to replace my rear shocks that are both blown (too much weight in that bed for those Superlift junk shocks). However, every site I go to only listed Bilsteins for 0-2" lift in the rear. I can find 4-6 lift for the FRONT though. Am i missing something or am I just stupid

Mark, the part number for the rears on ebay match up to the 0-2 inches one on eshocks, http://eshocks.com/bil_veh3.asp?Mode...=All&SubChar=Q
that makes me wonder if these are the right ones to get then?

well on the Bilstein site, they list that part number as a 4" and 6" lift..so that must be right

My main concern here is whether the 5100's are a heavy duty shock. It is not unusual for me to have 4,000 lbs in the bed. I do not want any more blown shocks.

Nic - my trucks due for some shocks as well. The ones on there look like their from 1905. But im equally confused. Does that mean that 4-6 inches of clearance (stock truck?) ...then whats 1-2" ?

Joe, 4-6 inches is for a truck lifted bewteen 4-6 inches, and so on. IS that that you are asking? If you truck is stock you would need whatever they offer, i think it is a 0-2 without looking.
