Hey guys looking at pulling the trigger on some new Bilstein 5100s. I found some with the part #24-186636 for the rear and part #24-185950 for the front.

The front says "Notes: 46mm Monotube Shock Absorber; 5100 Series; Crossmember Kit; Zinc; Front w/4 in. Lift; Front w/4.5 in. Lift; Front w/5 in. Lift; Front w/5.5 in. Lift; Front w/6 in. Lift".

The rear say "Notes: Rear Mono-Tube Gas Pressure, 46MM MONOTUBE SHOCK ABSORBER - 5100 SERIES - REAR LIFTED HEIGHT: 5" - COMPRESSION BUMP STOP ON CHASSIS MAY NEED TO BE MODIFIED TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE SHOCK ABSORBER".

Based on my set up keys, 3" spindles and a 3" rear spacer, will they work? If so, will I need longer brake lines? Thanks for any input!

Front - Bilstein 5100 Offroad Shock: F4-BE5-C153-H0 (99-06 0-2" Lifted Chevy Tahoe shock)

Rear - Bilstein 5100 Offroad Shock: F4-BE5-6682-H8 (94-02 0-1" Lifted Dodge Ram 1500 shock)

I used shock warehouse and got them for $300 plus shipping. I think they would work for your height, the backs have a lot of travel. You can check the specs of them on the Bilstein website for travel length.

I am paying close attention to this as we are set up dam near the same except I have a 6" rough country kit in the rear.
