Hello fellow awesome cummins owners!
I am new to this whole forum thing but a friend of mine has suggested that I use it to get my questions answered. I have a 2002 Cummins 4x4 quad cab with a short bed. I am using a 5.5 fabtech lift with 35" tires. My shocks are completely worn and and i can twist them with my hands. I was hoping to switch to Bilstein 5100 series shocks but I am not sure which size to use. I have talked with fabtech to try and get suggested extended and compressed lengths but I have reason to believe they gave me incorrect information. Bilstein says that they have a front one for a 6" lift and a rear one for a 4" lift. I don't want to mess this up by ordering the wrong shocks. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Oh yeah, first thread ever...let me know if I did/am doing anything stupid!

Thanks!

ALSO it anyone could recommend other shocks thatd be great too!

 

Welcome to the forum. If you aren't sure what Bilstein to use, I'd maybe shoot them an email and they should be able to help you find whats best for your suspension set up.

 

I called them but unfortunately they didn't really know exactly. I'm just going to order what they recommended and hope that it works. Thanks for the input though!

 

I would imagine the shocks they suggested should work fine for ya! They just need to be long enough, thats all
