hi there i need some new shocks i want some bilisteins shocks but i dont like those yellow ones with the blue boots i was wondering can i get another color of shock i really like the black ones, im fixing to put a 3inch body lift on my truck its a 2003 f150 4wd if that helps so does that effect the shock any way will it decrease my flexing if i put a BL on

 

A body lift doesn't effect your suspension at all.

 

okay i was just checking i would really like the 5100 shocks but will it fit my 03 f150 4wd will it work if i get the ones thats says the shock is for a 3inch lift?

 

Those shocks are for trucks with a suspension lift, they're longer so no they won't work with just a body lift. Did you think of using a can of spray paint on standard bilsteins?

 

no i never thought about that if so what type do you think would be the best

 

You need shocks meant for a truck with no lift if all you have is a body lift

 

Go with a standard set of bilstein hd's. Same quality as the 5100's but meant for stock height. If you don't like the color drop ten bucks on some primer and spray paint.

 

hell, you can go measure what size shocks you need also and probably find a set of 5100's that would work if you seriously worried about what colored shocks you have. you can't even see them without climbing on the truck anyways.
