I’m about to put some on my Yukon. What model?

Whoa, big dog you made me go back a long time in my Amazon order history to find this lol.

Bilstein (24-186742) 5100 Series Front Shock Absorber

I'd say they will probably ride much better in an SUV than that truck since its so light in the rear.

Lol. I know how that goes! I’m actually looking at the longer shock, since I leveled: 24-186643. Appreciate it though Sir!!

What measurements are you looking for? These are decently long, that truck has a custom Deaver leaf pack that I think is about a +1-2". Also, Might I add Fox has some really well-priced shocks I like their coilovers on my Silverado a lot. If they make an adjustable shock that will fit for the new setup that's what I'll likely go with.

Not sure, I haven’t measured. But it’s about 2” higher after cranking the keys. I have not felt it hit the limit of the shocks so far though. But looking for 2” longer than stock.

Old axle out and trailer painted, not a bad Sunday. I'm really pleased that the 4.10s and Duragrip look to be in good shape! Should be able to recoup some money for the new axle. Yes that's a ghetto wooden frame stand, I didn't feel like dragging all my jack stands through the dirt so it is what it is and, I still have all my toes and fingers.
