Shock lengths for 3" lift. Have a few ?'s
I have a deal on some Bilstein 5100's that are 5 months/6k miles old.
I plan on running a 3" rough county series 2 lift, but don't want to run their shocks! The lengths they gave me were 14.5-15" collapsed & 24.5-25" extended. Never got lengths for the rear though.
The bilsteins that I'm looking at are 27.36" extended & 16.95" collapsed. They are a 10" travel shock. I was curious if I'd have any issues running these? I know I can physically run them, but what are somethings I should know before buying them...

that length of shock is more suitable for a 5" plus lift, not a 3"
