Based on what I have read here on this fine forum, the general consensus seems to be to use the Bilstein 5100 shocks. With a Pro Comp 2 1/2 lift, the Pro Comp shocks seem to be quite rigid. Where can I find the correct Bilstein shocks?

Browse around on the Bilstein website, I'm pretty sure there is a chart somewhere that gives you more detailed info. Or Summit Racing, they usually have the specific part number listed along with the application.

I think I bought mine from 4wheel parts.

You can also contact Bilstein. I've called them twice with similar questions and the tech department has been most helpful.

Any other suggestions of where to buy Bilsteins? I'd love to support a 'MUD vendor/supporter if I can. Looking at some on Amazon. $83 each seems like a good price, but I'd pay more to help keep the doors open at a small shop.

Didn't I drop specific part numbers in your thread?


For a 4" lift?

Sorry if I'm confusing you with someone else who was asking the same thing.

I have read most of the threads here on MUD and jeep threads to see what shocks people are running for a short wheel based 4x4 and have yet to find information that guides me to my next purchase for my 1968 FJ40. Back Story - I have a 1968 FJ40, 2.5" OME medium lift, hard top, front winch, rear...

my set up is using stock shackles (2.75” eye to eye). So I went with the same ones he used.
