Bilstein 5125 rear shocks

[mkaenel]

Okay... now that the body is off the frame it looks like my rear Bilstein 5125 shocks (I think they are 12 inch bodies... but I am checking with Lee at race shock to what was the exact size I ordered) offer very little up and down travel.

Does anyone have any suggestions on the body size I should have for the rears? I have a 3.5 suspension lift with no body lift.

Thanks,

Matt

i got the 5125, love em. but i put mine in front of the rear axle. with a 2" body lift the fit right against the body on my home made mount and let the spring travel all the way out, added an inch to the bump stops to keep from blowing them out, there acually only 11.8" travel i believe.

My 5125's are on the rear... I have 7100's on the front. Sorry for not clarifying.

Joe,

What size body or length of shock did you use for the 5125's on the rear and pics would help alot.

Thanks,
