I ordered the bilstein 5100's for 3.5-4" lift. The person I talked to really pushed these for 3.5"

I installed one on the front and sitting level the shock boot is mashed halfway down! It just doesn't look right. I'm thinking about exchanging these for the 2-3" version. What do y'all think?

 

take off the shock boot and throw it away.
measure how far til shock bottoms out.
bumpstop accordingly.

happy jeepin

 

Yep

 

Okay they sure look funny being compressed a few inches at rest. I flexed it out and took some measurements, they'll do just fine. Thanks
