why can't I find bilsteins for BJ spacers up front? 10'' compressed?!!
Now that I've been talked into getting some billys up front, I cant find them that are about 10'' compressed length. which according to all my searching is what you want for about 1.5 inches of lift up front with the ball joint spacers. I think I was able to find them for the back, but nothing up front. I tried all the dealers on here i think, and 4wheel parts only list 11.5 in compressed length which is probably for a 3-4'' bracket lift.???? Any ideas please? Wab has extended length, but I can't tell if they're bilsteins.
I think I was even on bilsteins website and couldnt find them.

I just run the Skyjacker Hydro 7000's for 0-2" lift and I find them great. I've had them for years now and no problems. Cheap too only like $110 off ebay from what I remember.
EDIT:
I found them on ebay (from the same seller) and it seems they are a bit more expensive now.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Skyjacker-...ht_3186wt_1270

What do you need for extended? 15.5 or so? Look into Doetsch Tech shocks .. Reasonably priced and worth a shot.. I have a set sitting in my garage ready to put on when I get off my ass...

I put Bilstein 5100 on my 95 4x4 22re...Bilstein only list the 5100 for at least a 3 inch lift which mine has..if not you have to go with the Yellow/ Blue Bilstein Hd shock which is still a great shock....the 5100 are great but you do have to have at least a 3 inch lift...even with a 3inch lift they were a bear to get on but well worth it in my opinion..if you put a BJ spacer on that will give you around 1 1/2 to maybe 2 inches of lift..you can safely crank torsion bar an inch which would get you near the 3 inches needed..we did that on a friends truck and it worked great..good luck....g
