    Are the standard length rear Bilstein 5100 shocks OK use with a 1.5"-2" AAL or do I need extended length shocks?

    Specifics to my situation: I have a set of 1.5"-2" Deaver AALs I'm looking to install on my 3rd Gen DCSB and wondering whether I need to exchange the standard length Bilsteins for the extended length ones.

    I've combed through hundreds of post here on the World and talked to various suppliers haven't found/gotten a clear answer to this (If I've missed something obvious I apologize).

    Same crap everyone else got
    I used regular 5100's fine when I added a single aal to the stock pack. Pretty sure that's the norm. If you go to a full pack that gives 3 inch's of lift then no they won't extend enough.
