Got the new shocks today, need help before installing them.
The new shocks i got are longer, the shock cylinder is 2" longer then the ones on JK right now. I went out and measured the shocks mount to mount and got 20" front with 5,5" uptravel and 21"rear with 6" uptravel..
so you guys think the new ones too long? looks like its gonna be 3,5" front and 4" rear of uptravel and the shocks gonna be 3/4 compressed.. the new shocks are bilstein 5100 3,5"+ lift.
i hope i explained that ok. lol

Out of curiosity what are the Bilstein Part Numbers for the front and rear you've got?

Something ... E578 and E175.
Sending them back for E670 and E671. 1-3" lift

Thanks, was asking because I'm getting confused with the recommended 5100 shocks on the RK site which lists the F4-BE5-E578-H0 (new Bilstein number 24-186995) Fronts for their 2.5" Max Travel Kit which are shocks for 3-5" lifts per Bilstein Website.
