Need advice on using longer shocks w/stock leafs
Ok I bought some Bilstein 5125's to match the lift increase of Deaver C-10's. 2.5"-4.0". I decided not to put the Deaver springs on and I am having trouble finding a buyer for the Bilstein shocks. I want new shocks for the rear anyway so how much trouble would it be to use the longer shocks with the stock leaf springs?

Re: Need advice on using longer shocks w/stock leafs
How much are you selling them for? Are they NIB (new in box)? Where did you buy em? Any chance of a return?
Try the buy/sell section?

Re: Need advice on using longer shocks w/stock leafs
No trouble at all. The longest stroke shock you are going to be able to use is a 10" shock. And that should suit up to a 3" lift in the back (I think.. might wanna verify that exactly). I know SAW, King, RadFlo and a few others make them. Everyone on here seems to like the PRG/SAW 2.25 body res. shocks. You can get them from Greg at PRG but I am sure you know that already..

When the shock is mounted, how much shaft is showing? How long is the shock?

Re: Need advice on using longer shocks w/stock leafs
I haven't mounted them yet. They are for 2"-4" of lift on a 4wd. I wasn't going to mount them until I heard back from Greg or another equally knowledgeable individual. So you think it will be fine then?
