Default Bilstein Shocks for RE 4.5" lift....

I cannot find the shocks I need on 4wheelparts.com. Can anyone find them and give me the links?

Ordering a RE Super FLex 4.5" kit.

Ordering the lift today and want to get the shocks as well.

Ask a vendor in here they would give you a correct answer for the length needed

I posted a thread up asking vendors if they could even come close to the deal at 4 wheelparts... I let 4-5 days go buy... lots of action from members... no vendors...

time to buy came and went.

But by the willingness that was offered in this very thread by a vendor.... I get as much help from 4wheelparts... glad I can figure stuff out on my own. If I am doing all the leg work, Ill save my own cash and spend it where it is cheapest...

some run longer. you just need to bumpstop more to safely run longer shocks to take advantage of the added travel. theres a lot of variables that come into play when building a suspension setup.

In this thread SeriousOffroad answered a similar question:

https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f67/bi...5-lift-130552/

and points to the same shocks you found.

Just in case: I have not any type of relationship with SeriousOffroad nor I bought something from him in the past. Just he answered me a couple of questions in time and without hidding anything or asking me to buy to him. So it seemed fair to say this.

Let me help you out gain some future customers.


"coueshunter, you are correct. Those are the correct shocks you will need with that lift kit. You do know we also sell those shocks and kit and can et it to you for about the same price. I'll PM you the details."

You posted a few times but still never answered the question that was started this very thread. Like i said being a vendor does not make you holier then thou, however helping gain a customer by answering his quetions should be your goal. If I'm doing my own leg work ill go where it is cheapest. I got 4 5100s, shim kit, and 4.5" super flex shipped to my door for $1300. I have not seen.anyone come close to that price.
