Bilstein Shocks For 4.5-6 Inch Lifts

Bought these shocks to replace with my worn out skyjacker shocks. Ended up im buying a 12inch Rize lift to replace my whole 6inch lift and dont need the shocks. They are brand new still has the band wrapped around the shocks. All hardware is included just as i got it. Here are some pics of them. They are made for the RCD lifts but i called the guy and said it would fit with 6inch lifts. Part # F4-BE5-B316-TO

Brand New= $180 EA

Selling For: $310 Shipped

All you have to do is remove the spacer and put the bilstein at the 6" setting and your good to go.

With it being cranked to 6" the ride would still be pretty stiff? It would be the same as the 5100s cranked correct? Also could I maybe also get some shorter springs from eibach?

Im interested but confused. These won't replace the 6" spacer just the shocks right. To replace the spacer you would have to get coilovers?

from what i understand it will replace the spacer you just have to crank it to 6'' just like you would crank the 5100s to 2''. i believe it just has a longer body than the 5100s.
i might be wrong though

These are actually meant to replace the spacer in any 4"-6" lift. The valve body is longer than a standard unit and has individual ring lines to adjust to 4", 5" or 6" of lift over stock. They are a 5100 series Bilstein built for trucks with 4"-6" of lift. At the 4" setting ther is no additional spring load and at 6" there is the most spring load.

So set 4" with a 2" spacer would achieve the same 6" upfront..that would be the best?

set at 4" with a 2" spacer would achieve 6" yes and it would be the softest ride available with this strut. These set at 6" will not give you an overly rough ride though.
