Im talking with a guy at bilstien about shocks for the rear on my truck. He asked what was my required collapsed length & extended length. I'm on a 3/5 drop any ideas?

 

Bilstein's aftermarket tech department is sharp.
Their 24-186841 might work well contingent upon existing jounce snubbers/bump stops. Any relocation mounts on yours?

Nope using all factory mounting

 

Im not trying to be a dick, but climb under it and measure it. Get eye to eye at ride height, measure the distance till the bumpstop contacts at ride height, then jack up by the frame till you droop out the suspension (axle hanging) and get eye to eye then. With those measurements, they should be able to set you up. Or at least get you ball park.

 

ended up getting the info from DJM, for anyone else curious it was 13.5 collapsed and 22 extended

 

PART NUMBER ??? this is some good info... thanks

 

Good find. My OE OAL was ~16”/24”.

Subscribed. I was never quite sure what measurements were needed for ordering up the right shocks. Now I know. Good thread

 

The part number they gave me according to the measurements was bilstien #33-185606

 

Swapped the DJM's for the Bilstiens this morning, the ride quality is so much better, night and day
