Shocks???

What size shocks do i need on my 1990 k5 blazer for a 5 inch suspension lift?

Me, and Grundy, both run Bilstein 5100's, and LOVE them.
(We both run 6" lifts, and 37's.)

Quoted from my thread:

I am running these currently. By far the best shock that I have ever put on my truck.
I have a 6in lift and am running 37s. Here are the part numbers for what i have,

Bilstein BE5-6249-H5 5100 Series--Rear

Bilstein BE5-6248-H5 5100 Series--Front

One thing of note, these do not come with new shock studs. The last set of shocks that I ran were Trailmaster and the included new upper shock studs for the rear.

Sorry... my computer wont let me upload pics. Ive got 4 inch springs in the front and an easy inch. and in the rear i have a 4 inch shackle flip and extended shackles.

I just got my shackle flip in this weekend with some 56s and 6" cross-tied shackles going in as soon as my bushings get here. Shocks are next on the list for me too, so thanks for posting this.

Do you have the stock 10 bolts or the 14B/D60 combo? I have the latter and was wondering if that makes a difference on everybody's shock recommendations given the extra little bit of lift the bigger axles give.

actually right now ive still got the stock 10 bolts with 4.10 gears... with 37s i have to take it easy, but im looking around for some 1 tons.
