ok so i dont have a good flex on my RC 4.5" lift kit or i'm not satisfied and want more flexing.
Bilstein 5100 is my aim after reviewing many posts , but still dunno which ones to buy.
Front 24-185943 / rear 33-151663
Those are for XJ 5-6" lift as posted on many vendors sites.

Are those the ones i need?

For the front:
Do i need (long arm kit) for those to work correctly? (i have a CA drop kit now)
Do i need to change the coil springs to longer ones?

For the rear:
Do i need an aftermarket bump stop?
Anything else needed?

Many of you will suggest that i go 3 and 4 link setup but i can't buy and ship it to Beirut it will cost a fortune.

Another question Found 2 bilstein kit at diffrent vendors and big difference of price:

http://www.4x4groupbuy.com/store/bil...t-p-48700.html

http://www.amazon.com/Bilstein-5100-...it+for+jeep+xj

Are they the same, if yes, why this price difference .

Thank you

With 4.5" lift most guys run a 10" travel shock

Flex it out with your shocks disconnected and measure your collapsed and extended lengths.

I'm at 4.5" and have those shocks on my truck (although the 5150's)

Front 15.91/25.93
Rear 12.03/18.5

One thing to note is that I'm running the JKS stem adapters on the front tops and I've raised my axle mount on the rears to be flush with the bottom of the axle tube. Still using factory locations on the rear tops (with BPE's) and front lowers (using BPE's there too).
