No one on earth has Bilstein 33-066868's in stock (4" lift 5100), so I'm wondering if I can get a BPE kit and use a different shock part number for the rear (ones that dont come with the bar pin already installed, and just has the bushing eyelet)? Then I can buy shocks that dont have the bar pin pressed in for the top mount, but I can just install the shocks with the BPE kit...

BTW, that part number is for a 3-4" lift. Technically I am putting on a 4.5" lift.....
So should I get the 33-151663 shocks that are for a 5-6" lift? Or is getting the shock labeled for a slightly smaller lift than what I have ok?

As soon as I can get rear shocks, I'm ordering all of them so I can get my lift on....

 

I want to avoid having to press out the bar pin and bushing, just to install a new bushing in the eyelet, and then use BPE's...
I'd like to buy the kit, then buy 2 rear shocks that dont have bar pins in them, but will mount to my jeep using the BPE kit....

 

I just ran one Bilstein 33-066868 through the cart at this link and saw nothing that said it wasn't in stock:

Hmmmm, interesting. I did see some websites that didn't mention in stock or out of stock, but I didn't want to go through the whole process of ordering them, and then get an email that says I'll get them in 6-8 weeks, then get pissed and have to call them and cancel it.
Post back up if you get an email that talks about shipping dates or times

 

I didn't finalize the order so won't get contacted. But there is an 800# at the bottom of the link page. Give them a buzz.

 

Hahahah I did the same thing on a couple sights. I actually did put my info in and went all the way to credit card info, but stopped... I emailed 2 companies inquiring about availability, so maybe they will email back....
