 (2) Bilstein 5125 Two Bilstein 5125's. I initially used these up front for one season (probably 1000 miles with one wheeling trip) and switched up because they were a little too soft. I thought I could use them in the back, but they're a little too long. Here's the particulars:
Model 33-104652 (WH #BIL88118)
Collapsed: 17
Extended: 28
Travel: 11
Valve: 255/70
$125

Re: (2) Bilstein 5125 What lift are you running?
Wildhorses says they are for rears for 2"-4" lift. I'd be interested if that is what they fit.

Re: (2) Bilstein 5125 I'm running 3-1/2" lift with stock mounts. I just got off the phone with them and that's a typo. The 88116 is the correct one for 2-4" lift and stock mounts. These might work if you're running a modified shock mount setup and need a bit more shock. My mount to mount measurement is 19-1/2" so these would only leave me with 2-1/2" of compression. With the shocks I have now I have 4-1/2" compression.

Re: (2) Bilstein 5125 Yeah, if you're going to run used springs your distance is probably even smaller than mine. I have pretty new HD 11 pack Deavers from Duff, but I'm also running a 200 lb. bumper with a 23 gallon tank.

Re: (2) Bilstein 5125 The springs aren't that old, I had replaced them just a couple years before the 74 was parked and went under the knife. But I have no idea how things will sit. I just measured the shocks with the current lift (about 3.5") and I've only got 20.5", it's close but I'm probably better off waiting till I can get measurements with the newer springs.
