Anyone running Bilstein's on their 97-03 Fabtech 6"?
I could sure use part numbers for the right length to replace the Fabtech ones that came with my kit.I was looking at the 5150's,but not sure of the right ones.
I think I need:bf5-a195-h1 front and bf5-a187-h1 rear.Anyone have any guidance for me?

Just a note or two to add,in case anyone else is ever looking for this info.I e-mailed Fabtech about the extended/collapsed lenghths of their Performance shocks in the 97-03 6" lift kit,and here's the results:
Front 21.1 to 15.6
Rear 29.1 to 16.8
The bf5-a195-h1 front shocks have a 22.50/14.17 spec. so I figure I'm good there,right?
The bf5-a187-h1 rear shocks have a 29.70/17.78 spec. so I figure I'm good there too,right?
I also have a question about the eye on the Bilstein 5150's.I know that I need to order the stud adapter for my application,but is the eye that comes with the shock, the correct one for the lower mount in the lower control arm?I'm thinking it is, but would like to hear it from someone who has used them.
