    Sway bar relocation blocks aren't necessary with Bilstein 5100s since the shock's outer profile is effectively the same as stock.

    Old Man Emu shocks and the various coilover systems (Icon, King, Fox, etc.) need sway bar relocation because the spring perch is lower on the shock body:

    All-Pro previously offered Walker Evans 2.0" coilovers with an off-center mount that avoided the need for sway bar relocation. However, they have been discontinued.

    I kind of thought they looked very similar when you talk about the overall profile of the two, other than length....

    Still, if it's not going to hurt anything, I may as well leave it on.
