    sway-a-way 2.0 coilovers, 1.5'' AAL, 1'' toytec shackle lift, Go-Rhino 3000 Grille Guard, Kicker KS6502 speakers, JVC KD-S24 Head unit, billstein 5125 rear shocks, Deck Plate mod, K&N air filter, Wheelers offroad front and rear braided brake lines, diff breather mod, power slot rotors, ebc yellow stuff pads
    So i have a 03 4x4 with 3'' revtec coil spacers in the front and 2.5'' AALs in the rear. I recently ordered toytec rear shackles to give me the extra inch to clear the 33s i want to put on. So i have to get new shocks. I have heard good things about the bilstein 5100s but wanted to know if anyone had any advice on different shocks or these ones.

    the 5100's are good but i am not sure if they will be long enough for your lift, i think they are only good to 2", give Sonny a call at downsouthmotorsports and he will take care of you and tell you what would be best.

    Check out the billstein 5125s. They are longer for a higher lifted rear

    the billys I have are max 2.5" so you will probably need to go to the 5125s. I'm not 100% though but good luck!
