    Hey everyone, so I will be doing a big upgrade on my suspension here soon and I need some help with the rear. I want my rear to be close to level with the front which will be at about 6 inches. My plan is to go with the armor tech shackle flip kit and the extended shackles along with OME dakars. This setup will leave me with around 4.75 inches of lift, but now I need to find a shock with travel that can work. I do not want to bust the bank so I want to try to go with bilstein. I have found the bilstein 5165's which seem like a good choice. They offer custom travel lengths which is what I need. I know that armortech says their system can hold about 27 inches extended with STOCK leafs, but since I will have the Dakars, I am not sure if I can hold more travel. I also need help with valving selection.

    Any input helps, thanks!

    I have some lulzy Frankenleafs in the rear that put my rear up 4.5", and I've been running the Fox 2.0 rears with resis for 3.5-5" of lift with no issues.

    Part number for what I have is 985-24-118
