So I've been waiting to put my Re 3.5 in lift on for ever now. I ordered bilsteins almost 2 months ago and was told this week they will continue to be backordered until the end of July. So my question is any thing comparable to the 5100's? Reall tired of waiting....

 

Just an idea, go pick up a set of Pro comp shocks to get you by for now and then when you get your Bilstiens sell off the Pro comps as gently used parts. Probably make you more satisfied with the Bilstiens as well, I rode in my buddies F-350 pre and post Bilstiens, they are worth the wait!

 

Comparable to 5100's? Maybe the RE monotubes or OME.

If you were ready to pony up for the 5100's, just save a little more scratch and get the 5150's.

 

Aren't the 5150's too long for a 3.5 lift? Are you running these?

 

where did you buy them from? cause my dad just bought 5100s and 5150s from eshocks.com and they shipped right away.

 

if you get the right length, the wont be too long.

 

RE Monotubes.
Let me know which Bilsteins you need and I'll let you know what my availability is.

Same for the RE lift kit.

 

I ordered through 4wheelparts.

 

Cancel your order and go somewhere else. Seriousoffroad sells bilstein. Otherwise, OME makes long tavel shocks. And are just as good. Choice is yours. Polyperformance also carries bilstein.

 

Like I said, get me the model numbers and I'll see what I can do.

 

For what it's worth, the 5125's are awesome, IRO has them in stock

 

BDS/FOX shocks.

 

Let me put it this way If I did not order my 5100's for my lift, I would have ordered OME

IMO I place shock quality in this order

Bilstein
OME
Fox
RE
Rancho/Procomp

 

That's pretty much the order I was thinking. So went to 4 wheel parts should get a check back by wednesday. I'll post the part numbers after bit, kid just fell asleep on me...

 

why are fox shocks so low in the order? considering the fact that they are rebuildable and tons of racers use them i'd say they are right up there with bilstein, if not above.
OME, RE, and Rancho dont even offer a rebuildable shock....
