I was looking into the Bilstein 5100's some time ago and came up with this.

Front
BE5-E670-H0 2-3.5", 24-146708 - 14.95 / 24.63
BE5-E174-H0 3.5-5", 24-186872 - 16.41 / 27.56

Rear
BE5-E671-H0 2-3.5", 24-146715 - 15.39 / 26.38
BE5-E175-H0 3.5-5", 33-186887 - 16.96 / 27.36

Cool/informative thread.
I will throw this info here as well.

0-2" Front RS999326XL Comp. 13.930 Extended 21.780 Travel 7.850
0-2" Rear RS999328XL Comp. 14.690 Extended 23.140 Travel 8.450
4" Front RS999329XL Comp 15.660 Extended 25.280 Travel 9.620
4" Rear RS999330XL Comp 16.110 Extended 26.010 Travel 9.900

4" Rear RS999332XL Comp 16.770 Extended 27.190 Travel 10.420

The longer 4" are used on our LA/SA system.
The shorter 4" are used on our SPORT system.

I updated this list although I'm sure there may be more options out there since this was originally posted a few years ago ...

So according to this chart you will get more drop with the shock extensions with the 2.5" lift vs the recomended teraflex 9500 2.5" shock I was told by teraflex that the 9500 for the 2.5" lift were about an inch longer... Maybe the info for the shock extensions is incorrect?

Another thing all, if you are looking for a "custom length", I can often cross reference this info to another shock that will work as well.

so i just got these shocks from 4WHEELPARTS i only bought the front two for about $37.99 each.
Softride Hydro Shock by Skyjacker
Part Number: SKYH7075
2007-11 JK Wrangler, Rubicon and Unlimited with 6" lift, front (I HAVE A 2.5" SPACER LIFT)
Collapsed length (in.): 15.56
Extended length (in.): 26.750
Shock stroke (in.): 11.20
i wanted to get the OME LT shocks but lets just say they weren't $37.99. i wanted to get shocks that were easy on the wallet and have similar lenghts as the OME LT shocks (Collapsed length (in.): 16" Extended length (in.): 27.50")
here are a couple of pics. im pretty sure im missing some details.
