I finally found shocks with enough travel for a 6" lift in the back

Just wanted to share this for folks with 5"+ lift in the back. It's been a challenge finding decent shocks with enough travel in the back without having to use eye to stem adapters, are going custom made, etc ..

At rest my rear shocks measure 24 inches. Most shocks that claim to be for 5-6 inch lift only have an extended length of about 27-28 inches. 3 inches is no where near enough down stoke.

These Bilstein's have a collapsed length of about 18 inches and extended length of about 31 inches

So far, so good!

 

you better fix your bump stops.

 

Working on that, trying to decide the best way to go

 

I believe many folks run the 5125s. It's pretty common for folks with DB lifts and I think comes standard with them.
