6" Lift Bilstein 5100 rear shocks? 24-067379 2-4inch?

[LOH CHO]

So I bought a set of the 5100s I just ordered the part numbers listed in other threads and such.

Front shock are not my concern stating they're meant for a 4-6inch lift.

Rear shocks 24-067379 state they are meant for a 2-4inch lift.....Am I missing something? This is what everyone uses on their 6inch lifts with no problems?

Why wouldn't bilstein just make a 4-6inch shock to match the front?

Rough country rear shock full extension is 30" where the Bilstein rear is 28". I understand it's only 2 inches and driving on a flat road the shock is going to be compressed so 2 inches shouldn't make a difference.

Just want to confirm this is the correct part number for the rear shock and there isn't another one.

Thanks all

Might be wrong but i believe to level the truck you need to raise the front about 2 inches more than the rear.

Sorry to make this a short question I'm concerned that the rear bilstein shock is not long enough for a 6inch lift
