alright, i think we can all agree that 12 year old stock shocks on a truck with 100,000 miles on it NEEDS to be replaced and i feel it!! So my question is, What shocks should i get between Rancho and Bilstein. Im goin to have about 5-5.5" of lift in the front, and about 3" in the rear. I do go offroading once in a while but its nothing extreme. I dnt want to spend a pretty penny for some high tech shocks with a million options. Can ya'll give me some suggestions on some shocks that will do the trick?

Also, the springs are the same deal. Wore out! Any suggestions on 1" or 2" lift springs?

i dnt know if it matters but im going to be running 33's

 

Bilstein 5100's!!!

 

^X2

 

Can't go wrong either way, literally.

 

I heard the bilsteins 5100's are good and alot of people run them.

i looked them up and every application is saying "Use on upper A-arm type suspension lift only. Use on trucks with a 3 to 6-inch suspension lift"

Ok, im gunna have 3-6 inches of front suspension lift, and 3-6 inches of rear suspension lift, but im goin to be using my factory upper A-arm's in the front with about 5-5.5 inches of lift. clarification?

 

I'm not sure what your asking but they will work on your truck.

 

lol, ok, as long as i kno they will fit. Thanks again for the 20th time buxton. i should put in my sig "thanks buxton" for all the times ive said thank u. since i ask u so many questions, lol

 

Haha, not a problem man.

 

Ok, so excuse my ignorance please, but from what I see the Bilsteins say they are for vehicles with specific lifts. If I've got a 2.5" AS on the front, and stock out back, what size do I need to be looking for?
