Bilstein 5100 for 6" lift?
|
I was told that some Billstein 5100s would be good for my 05 F150 with Procomp 6" lift..So I ordered me some online. Before I ordered them I emailed another company to ask the specific product number and they replied saying that Bilstein didn't make a shock for a 6" lift. Does anybody know for sure about this, I would appreciate your responce!

They do make them for a 6" lift. In fact, those same shocks come standard on the RCD 6" lift kit.

You can get Bilstiens for your 6 inch lift that will allow you to do away with the Pro COmp spacer. You can also get standard OEM replacement Bistiens, crank them up for 2 inches of lift and keep the Pro Comp spacers.

I must have the stage two since it has coilovers. SO what your saying is that I need to take out a spacer before putting them on. I take it the spacer is the black one between the block and the leaf springs.

Oh, rear shocks. 
5150's is what you'll need. You can also get a 5.5" block if yours are stacked.
