I have not been able to locate the part number for Bilstein 5100 series front shocks with front hoops. I'll be running a 2.5" suspension lift and will need the eye-eye configuration on the shock. Thank you in advance for the help!

Also, I forgot to mention I'll be running the stock replacement Trex arms from James Duff. Thanks again!

Take measurements of the upper and lower Shock mounts at full droop and compression.

Go to Bilstein catalog and find custom installation. The Shocks will be listed as 5125s.

You would compare your measurements to the extension and compressed measurements of the Shocks listed.

T-Rex arms with a hoop may be pretty close to a stock length shock.

And depending on the length, you might expect to come up short in the more desirable (for the front of a Bronco) 360/80 valving department. There are not that many, so there are sometimes a missing number that would fit your application.
And why some of us continue to run dual shocks on those hoops!
