Default Bilstein 5100 shocks

I was going to order my shocks tonight from 4wd hardware and ran into a glitch.I have the Rusty's offroad 3.25" lift but it is not installed on my jeep and the salesman asked me what length shock I needed.He told me that I could order a shock for a 3",3.5",or 4" lift. Can someone give me the compressed and extended length of the shock they are using for this lift or what length shock they went with ex.3",3.5",or 4"?

I'd honestly contact Dave at northridge4x4, he will hook you up with exactly what you need and free shipping with purchase of $100 or more...

So now I have to sneak over to Daves place and tell her that I spent money on beer and hookers instead.
I love hookers and beer!

I can give you the lengths for the 2" lift bilstien shocks:

Front- about 3" longer then factory

Rear- about 1" longer then factory ( short I know)

I would go with the next larger size. Compression I would say 1 to 2 inches shorter. Hope this helps.
