    Hi All-

    I have searched through some threads on the matter. It seems that the 5100 series does not work with the stock leaf springs/suspension due to it being too long. I read one recommendation for the 5125 for stock height, but also read this is a stiffer shock with different valving.

    I’m not really sure which rear shock to pair with 5100s up front on stock springs.

    any advice is appreciated.

    Per an email with Downsouth Motorsports, they recommend the 4600 in the rear with a 5100 up front. It doesn't sound like the 5125 rear is still offered in the original length that worked.

    Just go with the 4600's since they're meant for stock height.
