Ok, I have a problem with my hoe. I need shocks for the front and possibly replace the rears with something else. The front of my Tahoe sits at 39 1/4 " at the fenders. I had all the steering replaced with moog parts here recently and when measured at full droop I need a shock up front that measures 18" extended. The bilstein 5100 only goes to 16" and the 4" lift one goes to 21" for 02 Tahoe. Does anyone know where I can find a 18" bilstein 5100 with a pin to eye for the front?

Second is the rear. I have sense trac load assist coil overs on the rear. I like them but I tow a lot and they are still not enough to keep my truck even close when pulling my rig. I have had load assist bags that work but I keep blowing one side. I'm wondering if I have a blown rear shock on that side cause it sits 1/2 lower than the other with no air in the assist bags. Anyways I was wondering if a good air shock would be a good replacement till I can afford coil overs all around which will be coming.

Any thoughts would be appreciated it is getting pretty frustrating cause I use this hoe for my biz and personal.
