Bilstein 5100

[SKUBASTEVE1010]

I have a 1972 K5. 6in. skyjacker lift, Custom leaf springs and rancho 9000 shocks. All this was done by the P/O about 15 years ago. It's pretty much sat in a shop most of that time. Only 5K miles since then. I am planning on ordering Bilstein 5100. I measured the shocks. Do these measurements seem about right for a 6in. lift? I want to make sure I order the right shock lengths for my truck. Also right now I have a crate 350. Here in about a month my buddy and I will be installing a 02 LS motor. Not sure if that makes a difference.
17 1/2 compressed front
26 1/2 extended front
19 1/2 ride height front
18 compressed rear
29 extended rear
22 ride height rear
Thank you in advance.

Single best thing I could recommend is to call Offroad Design and order through them. They’ll make sure you get exactly what you want

Thank you Bent77. I have been emailing Kurt with them. Just wanted to make sure. Kind of worried the P/O might have had the wrong lengths. I did send Kert an email asking him about that.

I would try to max out the suspension then measure, measure the stretched distance and the compressed . Weather you use jack stand and a floor jack with the wheels off or some place you can get one wheel up onto to max out your travel and measure & take picks etc... then take the shock off and compare how much movement there is to what you found earlier. Go longer if needed or it stays the same talking about it on the internet will be difficult to find what is real... $.02c

Sorry about that you're right.

Call offroad design. I ordered their valved bilsteins. Was a wise choice.
