    Hi all, just wondering who out there has a stock bilstein rear shock laying around that they measure for me? I got a rear 1.5” block and will be adding a aad so need to get shocks 3” longer.

    Thanx.

    Stock shocks are not designed to be used with a rear lift even though some people use them. Since you are planning to lift it even more, consider going with OME rear shocks (Bilstein 5100 may be okay, but you are pushing their capability here). Here are some specs I read when I was researching on shocks several years ago. (I don't think their specs have changed)

    Stock replacement (Bilstein 4600) TRD shocks.
    Collapsed length: 14.98 in
    Extended length: 24.45 in
    Travel: 9.47 in

    Bilstein 5100 (listed for 0 - 2" lift)
    Collapsed length: 15.33 in
    Extended length: 24.8 in
    Travel: 9.5 in

    OME Nitrocharger (listed for 0 - 3 in)
    Collapsed length: 15.15"
    Extended length: 25.6 in
    Travel: 10.45 in
