Bilstein help

[GaryTanner11]

Alrighty guys, I've been saving up money so that I can order all of this stuff for the leveling kit together, but I've hit a snag. I'm going with 1-3" keys with 2" rear spacers, but I can't seem to find the specific Bilstein 5100's that will fit that application. I know that a lot of you guys have the exact same setup, and was wondering if anyone could tell me the exact product numbers of the Bilsteins I would need. It would be GREATLY appreciated!

Don't know mine off hand, but I got my numbers off Bilstein website. View their pdf catalog and find your year and model. Select the 5100 series...pick the front and rear lift height and it will list the part number.

I guess its just preference, I did the ones in the rear for 3" of lift. After I got all the measurements, I found out the extended and collapsed lengths of the 1" one was almost no different than stock. Since I was adding a 1.50" spacer and new springs, I went with 3". They might be slightly compressed a tad more, but I haven't had any problems with them.

Here are the specs that I found.

Stock:

Collapsed Length- 15.47
Extended Length-24



0-1" shock

Collapsed Length- 15.55
Extended Length-24.33



3” shock

Collapsed Length- 16.16
Extended Length-26.14
