Which Bilstein Shocks?

I have a 6" Fabtech lift, 2" AS Front Spacer, and Pro-Comp AAL in the rear..

I still have the POS Fabtech shocks on the truck.. I am looking at changing the ones in the rear tomorrow.. I was wondering if anyone running a similar setup has some Bilstein 5150's. The two types i have narrowed it down to are, Bilstein Part #'s:

1) BF5-A187-H1
2) BF5-A198-H1

http://www.bilstein.com/offroad_5150.php

I think i am going to go with the A198's...

Anyone got any advice or experience with these?

Thanks

5125's- Generic monotube
5150's- Generic resi's


Both are excellent choices, ive got the 5125's with zero complaints. Ill still be upgrading to King resi's in the spring though.

You can never go wrong with the Bilstein shocks.
