Ya stock for the front and the way it's advertised for the rear it's ok with a 1" lift but I'm not to sure about that cause it looks fully extended... But the 5100 say there good with a 3" lift and I want to put bigger blocks in the back cause I'm tired of this Cali lean

Lol, when my bed was bouncing, it was because 5/8 of the bed bolts had been torn out
No useful information here, sorry, lol.

There are also isolator pads under a few of the beds cross supports. It can make it sound as the bed is bouncing if they are not there. Mine are gone (never put them on when i put the bed on) and making a terrible racket...... lol.

I have a 2" lift, can I use a shock for a 3" lift? Just not vise-versa?

good question! Im not really sure about that one, but I would guess that you can NOT use a 3" lift shock on a 2"lift because if you flex it out the piston in the shock might hit the end of the shock tube and limit your flex. I don't even know if that makes sense haha

I understand. I can't find blsteins for a 2wd w/ 2" lift. Could I use ones for a stock height 4x4 on my 2wd?

I mean, do they mount the same front and rear between 2/4wd?

I think the front shocks on a 2wd mount differently than a 4x4 because you have springs up front and I have torsion bars. As for the rear it should be the same. I just searched a little online and could not find a 5100 series front shock for a 2wd. but did find a 4600 series for the front.
