my shocks are original OEM and need to be replaced, I had been holding out trying to figure out what I want to do, some say they do not like OME shocks for life expectancy and several other complaints, others are very happy with them, info on other shocks was spotty, after the other thread that had dimensions I saw that the bilsteines were not that much shorter than OME's I figured I would go with what I had used in the past and was happy with.

Ordered the Bilsteins from Autozone.com yesterday free shipping but had to pay tax, total came out to just over $250 for all 4 corners, could not find them any cheaper anywhere else. Should be hear later this week or early the next

Koni's were not an option due to price and availability,

the loss of more or less an inch of travel does have me worried about compatibility later down the road, I don’t have any lift right now but plan on standard OME springs later I could not find much info here weather it woudl be a problem or not, I would imagine for most uses you will not get into the extremes of travel, to worry about it.

When I pull the OEM ones out I can get their dimensions, eye to eye shocks are easy enough to measure, but what about stud style? Where do you measure from?


Later down the road I may have to modify it to take some 7100 series with custom mounts but bolt on for now.
