Shock length on Bilstein 5150's??

My RC 6.5" will be arriving next week and I want to throw a set of Bilstein 5150's on the front and 5100's in the rear. I know a good many people have run these with a 6.5" kit. I need to know what the exact length I need to buy. Thanks guys.

Call RC and ask for the compressed and extended lengths of the shocks they sell with the kit. Then, take that info and order your 5150's.
