Default Shock Length

I am looking at OME nitrochargers and Bilstein 5150s - 3 questions -

1. what length do I need? (3.5 RE)

2. can I get a length that will work for 3.5 but will also work for a potential future 1" spacer/shackle setup?

3. I know that everyone like the OMEs but has anyone had experience with the Bilsteins?

bilsteins are very nice and im thinking on running them in the future. as for correct size go to jeepinoutfitters and talk to jason (the owner). he will point you in the right direction for the bilstein shock size for now and for the future.

as for the OME, the N35L and N36L are going to be your correct size for up to 4.5". if you need more shock travel then you will want to put some BPE's on which will give you an extra inch of travel.
