Question Bilstein difference?

Well my buddy has a set of Bilstein 4x4 leveling shocks and is selling them to me for a 100 bucks. He used them maybe for 6 months. Anyways my quesition is can I use the 4wd Bilstein shocks on my 2wd? Are the shocks the same length just the 4wd I imagne valved a little differently as well more weight up front than a 2wd. So can a Bilstein 4wd leveling kit shock work on a 2wd truck, is basically what I am asking. Thanks for the help!

The 2x4 and 4x4 shocks are different shocks. The length and valving are different. You can't use them.

Thanks man. How much longer are they in comparison? I knew the valving would be different.

No problemo,

There isn't a whole lot of difference in length, probably 2". The factor is diameter. The 2wd is skinnier than the 4wd 5100 for your 2007.
