shock question

I have Reflex double front shocks on the front and singles in the rear. I am wanting to put Bilstiens on. will the 5100s work? when I went to shockwarehouse site it looks like these shocks(5100s) are for off road use. I only use my truck to pull an RV and drive around town.

Yeah, guys have 5100's on their rigs with no problems.

IIRC, the 5100 series is basically the same as the OEM replacement Bilsteins, with a few differences like longer travel, etc.

Scott

I have 5100's on my early 99 that as a 2.5" mini pack on front (which doesn't change the stock shock length) and Airbags on rear.

These are the part#s Fronts- F4-BE5-6253-H5 Rears - F4-BE5-C336-HO

I'm thinking you should be able to double fronts with out any problems.

Hope it helps .
