Default Blistein shocks

I put the 5100's in my 05 and want to buy them for my 2003 h2. My truck is lifted but I don't know how much since I bought it after the lift. Anyway I measured the existing shocks and he fronts are about 15' measures to middle of both top and bottom bolts. The rears are 23' measures same way. Can someone tell me what numbers I should be looking to get with shock extended and collapsed?

You can go directly to bilsteins website. Bilstein, Innovation and High Quality Since 1873 they list different options for the different ride heights you may have. your going to have to figure out how much of a lift is on your rig though. also once you get the correct part #s check amazon. they usually have better prices than anyone else.

I bought some bilsteins a while back from the shockwarehouse for my lifted WJ jeep. They were the lease expensive, but this was before amazon became so popular. Like I said a while back haha. Worth checking into though

If you go to the Bilstein website and put in your vehicle it will give you the shock dimensions.

Yours sounds like you should be able to use the stock up to 2.5" lift one iirc.

Looks like Blistein doesn't make a rear shock for my truck. They said the ones they have are either too small or way too long. The fronts would fit but not sure I want to have diff shocks in front and rear. Anyone have any experience with the new Skyjacker M95 series shocks?

I could be wrong but these should work.

Position: Rear
Front Spring Type: Torsion Bar
Rear Spring Type: Coil

Extended Length (IN): 27.17

Old Part Number: F4-BR5-G714-H0

Your 23" length is right in the middle.

I was looking for the 5100 model. The 5160 are very expensive and not looking to spend that much on shocks. I may go with the 5100 for the front and skyjacker m95 for rear. Thanks for the info though.

I like the Blistein 5100's and am considering putting them in the front and skyjacker M95's in rear. Do you think its better to put the skyjackers all the way around? I wouldn't think having Blisteins in front and skyjackers in rear would affect the ride of truck.
