I am running the Bilstein 5100s. I got them from 4 Wheel Parts. Do your Home work on the price. If you find them cheaper then what they quote they will match it. Shocks are firm and have a great ride. This is the 4th set of Bilsteins I have had on as many vehicles and have never had a problem with them.

Great question, cuz I'm in the market also.
Heard good things about the Skyjacker Nitros too...any experience with those?

My question is, if I put the 4" spring lift on (not long arm - just lower control arms), and may keep the 2" RE spacers, can I get a shock that will work with either configuration?

I get a bonus in Nov and hoping to get all the parts I need for the lift then.
