Stock shock length's

muledeer · March 18, 2014

Does anyone know what the stock shock measurements might be on a 1500 silverado in the years around 2010, Looking for the compressed and extended length's?

Thought I would ask before I get around to taking taking one off to get the measurements.

Looking at the Bilstein site and the 24-186957 is 16.53" Compressed and extended 25.39", since Im going to put 3" blocks on the rear I just want to be sure before I purchase. I see they make some others that are a little longer also but I want to get it correct the first time.

Thanks,

From my understanding that will work, call them up if you want to be sure.

Be sure to get the 5100's

I called Bilstein and didn't get much help, They told me I need to put my truck on a lift and let the suspension droop and make measurements then they might be able to assist with an application. Thought they would have already been down this road with other guys putting rear blocks on. maybe I should just get the extention brackets and call it good.

I just posted a link to shocks that will work. Cognito motorsports would be able to answer your question to be 100%.
