    I currently have Zone shocks in the rear that came with their 5" lift kit. The truck had a 1.5" rake so I decided to upgrade the front shocks - adjustable 5100's to improve ride and raise it a bit. Now I have a 1" reverse rake. I called Bilstien Customer Service but they didn't have a shock for the rear for lifted trucks over 2". I'm wonder if the zone shocks are the only option? (doubt that)

    I'm running Fox 2.0 with reservoirs on a 7" lift. You can contact Fox Shocks at
    1 (800) 369-7469 and give them your setup and they can build the Shocks for your lift.

    Yessir, mine are 2.0 Fox Rear and they seem pretty good. I’m not one to judge from other shocks besides the stock ones but ride feels good to me for the height that I have...

    7" BDS here. I had the Bilstein 5100 and replaced with ADS 2.5" rears. A noticeable improvement over stock and 5100's. As 1Upper said, call vendors or the actual company and they should be able to build to your needs.

    Will the BDS 98224952 fox shocks fit a rough country lift in the rear and the BDS 88302057 fox struts fit the front with the BDS front bracket kit? Thanks

    RCD has some Bilsteins setup for 6" . I think its basically a 5100 , ride is mediocre but durable compared to the pro comps i blew threw a few of.
