Bilstein 5100 on dropped rear?

[iminaquagmire]

My stock shocks are shot and as you all know, the stockers were never any good to begin with, I've ordered the Bilstein 5100's front and rear but now I'm wondering if they were the right choice for me. I have the rear of my truck dropped to level so that's a 2" drop shackle and the factory block removed. So the rear is dropped about 3" or a little more in total.

 

I've seen so much conflicting information so hoping maybe some of you have had the same situation. I've seen less than 4" in drop is still okay and I've seen anything more than 2" needs drop shocks. So what is it? Do you think the 5100's will be okay or should I go with some Belltech drop shocks? Something else?

You may be the trail blazer in this category and may have to fill the rest of us in. Before spending the coin and relying on the rest of us guessing, how about just calling Bilstein.?

I'm away on business and won't be able to install the shocks for a few more weeks. Was just curious. I'll call Bilstein in the morning though.
