Help Finding the Right Bilstein 5100 Shocks?

[superman22x]

I'm having some trouble finding the right Bilstein 5100s. Seems all the shock sites have only front shocks for 3"+ of lift. But they have one for the rear for 0-1" of lift:

Is it the same exact shock in the front? My front has a 2" coil spacer lift, while my rear is stock.

Could someone help me out with some links? Thanks!!

Your link does not work but if you are wondering if front and rear shocks are the same they are not. They dont make a 5100 for a 2" lift in the front and they dont make a 5100 for stock height anything. They do have regular Bilstein for rear though. I just put in a set of these in the rear and love them

Bilstein doesnt really make a front shock for our truck with a 2" lift that I know of. For what its worth, I have a spacer and have these Rancho shocks. I was really wanting Bilstein shocks for the front but when I couldnt find any I went with these and really like them

Oh, well that sucks... Thanks though. I'm not sure what to go with for shocks then, maybe the Bilstein HD shocks or maybe those Ranchos?

Fixed my link too, btw.

Well I can tell you I am very happy with my set up. The adjustable aspect of the front shocks is actually pretty nice

Yeah, I think those are a bit out of my price range though... $114 a piece is a bit steep...

I understand that. Another member here is in the same boat as you and actually looking at shocks for a 4wd High Rider Ranger. He found Monroe shocks that are long enough to fit a non high rider that has a 2'' lift. The Monroe part number he found is 37018
