Help me out on these dimensions...

[Avery4jc]

I have a vendor on Pirate that found me some Mono-Tube shocks (I've been shopping around for a long time), I asked him for dimensions of some Blistein 5125's for the rear and some 5150's for the front...

Bilstein 5125 Rear
14" Travel - 35" Extended and 21" Collapsed or
12" Travel - 30 Extended and 18" Collapsed

Bilstein 5150 Front
14" Travel - 35" Extended and 21" Collapsed or
12" Travel - 30 Extended and 18" Collapsed


My shocks measure 25" from eye to eye with the full weight of the truck on them so my question is will the 14" travel be enough room for me? That would give me 4" of down travel and 10" of uptravel...

Sounds to me like they'll work just fine for you.

Ok cool...

I was positive that the 10" of stroke I'll have upon compression would be more than enough (especially with these ooober stiff superlift springs) but I wasn't sure about the down-stroke...but I guess 4" or so will be enough.
If I'm getting that light in the front end I'm sure I'd break something before I bottomed out the shocks

Ok guys I'll send him the $$$ and they'll be on their way!
