    Won't this much lift cause a lot of wear on your front U joints?

    Hey guys, been a while but I've got a question for ya'll. On my rear suspension I currently have OME Deaver springs that gave me around 3" lift then threw in 2" blocks under that so I'm totaling 5 inches in the rear, give or take. For shocks, I was recommended the Bilstein Extended length rear shocks from HS off-road when I purchased my kit.

    Some of the specs for those shocks are:
    - Collapsed: 16.34"
    - Extended = 27.28"
    - Travel = 10.94"

    I have noticed lately when going over any type of speed bumps, it sounds like the shocks top out at their max extension....to me that doesn't seem like a good thing if it's happening over a speed bump o_O

    I'm looking to purchase new/longer shocks, soo question is....of these two Bilstein shocks, which would be the way to go?

    -Bilstein B8 5125 33-230399

    Collapsed Length (IN) - 17.89
    Extended Length (IN) - 29.38
    Mount Type - Stem-to-Eye
    Upper Mount Type - Stem
    Lower Mount Type - Eye 5/8in

    OR

    -Bilstein B8 5125 33-230436

    Collapsed Length (IN) - 18.74
    Extended Length (IN) - 30.88
    Mount Type - Stem-to-Eye
    Upper Mount Type - Stem
    Lower Mount Type - Eye 5/8in

    anyone have any insight to rear 5" blocks with an add-a-leaf for a total of 7" and its relation to carrier bearing or even if the stock driveshaft is long enough to tale that much lift?

    Currently have the pro comp stage 2 with coil overs but am still rubbing bad. Have dirt king UCAs on the way and am going to crank the coils but want to bring the back up too so I don't have that lean. Thanks guys.

    This is exactly what I am trying to do on my 2016.

    Are these the mid travel or long travel Fox's? I'm looking for the 2.5 Fox DCS with new UCA.
    What else would I need besides the BDS kit?

    Instead of add a leaf I want to replace my flat rear springs. Anyone have part # for a better leaf kit with a 6" lift?

    Update:
    NM I figured it out myself.
