Anyone know what the extended free length (upper seat to eye) of the following are:
- Bilstein OEM shock
- Bilstein 5100 shock
- base suspension OEM shock (15.56 in. extended length; 10.99 in. compressed length)
I am trying to figure out the longest shock that can be used and avoid coil bucket contact.
I suspect the magic length is a bit longer than the 5100, but haven't taken the truck apart to check the geometry yet.
The intent is to maintain pretty much stock extension from ride height, but go a bit higher with a replacement spring. No spacers.
