Hey Thump I have another question for you. I just got back from 4wheelparts and the guy there told me that I cant use the 5100's on my truck because of the lift. I think he misread the screen though cause when he looked up the shocks on the info it said "raised height" 0-2" and the way he interpreted it was that it will only fit a stock height truck. What I got from reading that was the shocks will raise my truck height by that much or am I wrong........

What length do you need for a 6" Fabtech lift?

Are you trying to use the Bilstein 5100s with the Procomp 6" spacer? If so than you need to order the Bilstein 5100s for "stock" vehicles. Thats what I'm running right now, no problems. Now if you want to get rid of the spacer completely, you could order the Bilstein 5100s for the RCD 6" kit but you won't be able to crank them anymore but you could also just add a regular spacer/leveling kit on top. I'd probably go this route.

Are you trying to achieve more lift or just have a better shock? See above, it might help you out.

Well if you don't need anymore lift than you could use the RCD 6" Bilstein 5100s.

I got mine through topguncustomz too. The fronts say RCD on them and the part number isn't the same as the Bilstein website but they are the ones that give 2 in. of lift.
