Hey guys, I'm in the market for new shocks and I'm pretty sure that I want bilstein 5100s because from what I've read, they are the best bang for the buck shock. I'm open for suggestions though. My question is does anyone know what length I need? The extended length etc. I have the 7.5 fabtech with a 2" spacer on top of that. I have the fabtech shocks right now and they are terrible. Can anyone help me out on where to order from and the right shock that will work for my setup. Thanks!

 

Get what ever lift you have in extra length on the shock. When I use to run the Rubicon alot I got all my parts from 4Wheelparts.com and
central4wheel drive. I had the Fabtech's at one time and the 5100's were night and day difference.

 

Get the bilstein 5100s made for the 3-5" lift, they should be perfect.

 

PM 01f1502wd, he has the measurements you need. i'm thinking 13.5 collapsed, 22 extended but i could be compeltely off

I remember looking at all the lengths on their chart and we didn't find anything that was perfect for the application but found some that'd work.

 

Thanks guys I'll pm him. Gatorcrew is going to get back to me as well because he has the same setup as me as well. I'm pretty sure I'm going with the 5100s just want to make sure I order the correct size.

 

ya man ill go out tomorrow to try and find a part number I got em on sale so for 2 front ones its was ~$180
