Bilstein shocks for 1.5" lift. 10", 12" or 14"???

I'm looking here: http://trail-gear.com/shocks.html for some new bilstein rear shocks I'll be installing with my lift shackles and they list three different lengths, 10", 12", and 14", I will be gaining around 1.5" of lift with the shackles. Which ones are the correct application for my lift?

Also, would I be better off with 5125's or 5150's? I tried searching but couldnt find anything useful. I could have sworn there was a sticky on this somewhere.

If you are only adding shackles and leaving the bumpstops in place, are you sure you are going to need more stroke?

You have the truck and the shackles. Either call Trail Gear or measure.

5150's are the poor man's reservoir. Decent shock for the money.
