Which shocks?

secretagent · 07-03-08, 12:56 PM

I'm installing a Hell Creek 4" lift and am going with Bilstien 5125 shocks. What length shocks are you guys using with the same (4") lift using the stock shock towers.

Thanks

i dont have your specific lift or stock shock towers but with approx 4" lift and f250 shock towers, ive had to order 10" 5150's up front. The 12" would have about 1inch of uptravel at static height so it wasn't worth damaging the shocks. i went 10" 5125's up the back too.

shocks are ordered.. just waiting for them to turn up.

measure extended and compressed, and order 5125...you will not be disappointed.
