Default RE Super Ride 3.5" Shock Question.

So i have two different sets of bilstein shocks that i sm looking at and cant really tell which ones would be appropriate for this kit.

Part numbers 24-185622 and 24-185639

Or

front 24-188197 and rear 33-066868.

So if you have this kit with either set of these shocks please chime in.

I don't have that kit but I have these shocks. I'd say go with these, because I hear RE components tend to run a smidge over advertised height. So you may end up sitting a little above 3.5". Might wanna get these for that possible extra wiggle room

I kind of figured it would be wiser to go with the higher rated ones.

Thanks for the pics and info. The problem is there are different models of 5100's I guess. I'm probably going to go with this version of 5100's since they are listed to have greater travel and compression rates.

front 24-188197 and rear 33-066868.


Which part numbers do you have on yours?
