I have Green Keys installed on my truck and was wondering what Bilstein shock would best fit the application. I want to maintain the lift and still have plenty of travel. The stock shocks just are getting the job done.

I can get the part # off of mine & get back to you later. Their the silver & black 5100 series, IIRC they are 3" longer than stock.

Bilsteins are a good value and a good choice for replacing those shocks you say are just getting the job done. My stocks were totally gone at 7000 miles in the front. We have concrete highways here in So. cal so the "slab effect" really heats up those stock shocks.

noreaster-Did you actually hold your stock shock up to the new bilstein before installing and see that it was longer, or is that just what they told you when you bought it?

They are longer, I compared to stock.
You can tell the difference when the truck's jacked up, have to jack it almost all the way with a floor jack to get the tires off of the ground.
That's with a craftsman 3 1/2 floor jack.
The only gripe is I have a bad seal on the LR shock.

The std yellow units are stil the best choice. Adding a spacer to the upper hardware stack or a taller lower mount will get that last gnats hair of travel, but you willalso get the scrub, and bump steer that comes with it...
