Just FYI...didn't see this posted anywhere here yet. Bilstein is running a buy 3 get 1 free special through April 30th. Go here www.1freeshock.com and they'll direct you to many different retailers that are participating. No mail in rebate to mess with, just get a free one at the time of purchase.

If I could throw a question in here, too...I am about ready to purchase a lift, probably a RE 3.5 SuperFlex and had already decided on OME shocks. Now I think this Bilstein special has changed my mind. Any reason not to go with the Bilstein vs OME? I'm thinking there's not much of a difference, although the OME is twin tube and Bilstein 5150 is monotube. Thoughts?

Me I would go with the Bilsteins simple because IMHO they are a better all around shock. That's just my personal opinion.

OME nitrochargers are monotube..

The Bilstein's have different shocks for 2-3" and 4". With the 3.5" lift RE netting 4-4.5" after lift, which shock should we get?

Thanks for the reply. From what I can tell they are both very well liked around here and can't go wrong with either one.

Thanks for the correction...guess I hadn't looked into the different OME models.

I was wondering the same thing. Hopefully someone will confirm for sure, but I'm thinking that the 4" shock is the one to get for the RE 3.5" kit.

i wouldnt buy the 5100s (which are the ones for certain lift sizes) Go measure your travel and get 5125s with 255/70 valving.
