    Can anyone with Bilstein 8100s(fixed or dsa, not external bypass) on the rear tell me how far the hose connection protrudes from the shock body or past the upper shock mount?

    Bilstein says you need a max of 6" backspacing to clear the hose. My stock TRD pro wheels are 6.75".

    I'm wondering if they're factoring in most people run a wider tire (like a 35x12.5") and would need the clearance, where I have no plans to move from a 275 (10.8").

    Thanks

    Casey has the bypass flavor. I do have a few forum customers here who’ve done the non-bypass ones though. Lemme see if I can remember some usernames.

    Thanks guys. I know I can throw spacers on there if I really had to, but trying to avoid that if possible
