Choosing shocks
I have a 2.5" Rock Krawler lift going on next week and had planned to pair with Bilstein 5100s but the rears are on backorder...can anyone suggest a worthy replacement?....

You could get stock length 5100s and go with one of the kits that moves the rear lower shock mounting point up so you can trim the bracket.
I wish I had thought of that before I put my RK 2.5" kit and 5100s on as I want to move the shock mounting point up after getting them hung up on rocks a couple times.
