Called bilstein and the only shock that will fit my soon to be 14 inches of lift is a 9100 series listed somewhere around 350 a piece and I can't afford that right now. Right now my shocks eye to eye are like 28inches. I'm not sure what they are fully extended. Replacing my old lift with the new will put me up another 6inches so roughly 34 inches shock mount to shock mount. Now only other option bilstein has is a 14inches of travel with an eye to eye fully extended 34.9 so obviously that's not going to work. But he brought up and idea of moving the shock mounts somewhere else so I could use the 5125 series with 14inches of travel. Any input on this?

Also I see some huge a** trucks with shocks that are cheap looking. You know what I mean by being like plain white? What are some places I could call to order a set to match my specs so I don't have to re locate my shocks mounts? Its just a temp shock so I can drive it to Houston put my truck into storage while I'm in Germany and then get all the high quality stuff for it when I get back.

Thanks Guys,
Josh

 

just run no shocks

 

why not link two shox together lol.

 

i thought you were just gonna run the strut extension and some oem shocks until you could get some new ones

 

Gonna have to on the drive home. That's if the driveshaft isn't pulled out way too bad for me to drive 7-8 miles to the house.

 

This is for the rear. The front is taking care of.

 

Check out FOA, they have good low priced high quality shocks. www.f-o-a.com

 

Thanks for that link. I think ill end up having to go with 18inches of travel.

Where would I get them charged at? How much would something like that cost?

Anymore sites out there?

 

For nitrogen charging places, a lot of power sports dealerships do it but any performance/truck place down in Texas should be able to point you in the right direction.

Also Racerunner/SAW at www.swawaway.com And then of course the usual Fox, King, etc.

 

Thanks man. If you come across anything else just let me know

 

Doectech(spelling?) They built them you can get the with the piggybacks for 160 a piece

 

I saw they only have 15inches of travel. I guess ill have to find out for sure what the measurements are going to be when I put the lift on.

But keep em coming guys I appreciate this as it will make it a lot easier to get when I put the lift on.
