Bilstein 5100's?

[95obschevy]

Ive heard alot about these shocks on forums and have a few questions...

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BSN-33-061399/

1) will these work with a 3" Bl 2" level?
2) will they give me any lift?
3) what are the advantages of them over using stock shocks?

There suppose to be a really good riding shock. No you will not get any lift out of a shock.

I can't comment on the 5100's but I love my bilstein HD's

If your looking for a cheap price check out eshocks.com, it is where I and a bunch of other members have gotten their shocks

i have 5100's on mine. They ride great! A pain to install because you have to put a lot of pressure to get them into location but have your truck at full droop and it wont be an issue.

Highly recommend them.

I had the 5100s on my K5 and i loved them. I could drive my 8" all spring lifted blazer down any washed out road and it rode great. Yes they will fit with your 2" level. Your body lift does not matter, shocks go from the frame to the axle.

I had them on my 98 before the SAS and they road great. They will work with your body lift and your level.

Thanks guys! are they self adjusting? if i ever add a 4" suspension lift will they still work or be too short?

depends on the travel/length you need. I ordered these http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BSN-33-061399 they're 4-6" lift shocks. Im only on a 3" leveling kit and not at 3". The will be perfect height for when im lifted here soon as well. Just go measure eyelet to eyelet and do some research on what shock is compressed/extended and order according. Youll be fine.
