18.5 ext and 12.03 collapsed ill let you guys know how it works out.


I ended up getting em from summit so if I dont like em i can return them for a full refund.

Do you happen to know what the length of the drop shocks are from djm for a 5" rear? Was thinking about going with some bilsteins, and i may have to pick some up if these are for a 5" rear drop

 

[NORCAL SS]

you want to measure your truck at ride height and get a shock that is best at that point.

djm says 20 inches extended length but with 18.5 you will be ok.

What is your eye/eye measurement now at ride height?

im going to test this out then going to test the 5150 has a external resorvor. 95 bucks i found them for which summitracing will beat im sure of it and also with summitracing you can return them if you dont like them and they refund your money. No other place would do this for me.

i shoudl have the 5125s here tomm and then ill test that out for 2 weeks and try the 5150s and stick to what works out best for me.

are these more stiff or soft?

 

[Slammedchevy01]

curious how these ride

 

[FLHOE]

Any updates on the test? Can you compare the 5125 to the HD for ride quality, stiffness and performance?

 

[NORCAL SS]

HAVE NO probs with them i installed them on a 04 with a 3 inch drop yesterday and he had upgraded hds that he wanted to change out. He likes the 5125 much better.

btw you can allways return them to summit racing if you dont like em

direct bolt on?

Did you use shock extensions or just replace the stockers? Have to swap sleeves or anything? I wanted to match mine front to back but I'm thinking the 5100s will ride better.
