Anyone here with 6.5" lift and Bilsteins?

[Shakeydeal]

I have a Zone 6.5" lift with what I assume are the stock Z71 shocks. I want to replace these for a little better ride. I am looking at the Bilstein 5100s front and rear. The part numbers they gave me are:

 

24-238304 (front)

24-186636 (rear)

 

Does that sound right? Or did you get different part numbers?

 

Any input on ride quality or comparison to anything else of similar value is appreciated.

These part numbers are not correct , they don’t match you lift kit hight - you need to get ones which supports 6.5 lift kit

Well I talked to the guy in tech support at Bilstein yesterday and described the lift. He said if I have spacers under the front struts, which I believe this to be true, those are the parts I need.

you're incorrect. the bilstein 24238304 are 0-1.85" shocks. so if he keeps them at the stock height WITH the 6.5" spacer it will work perfectly.

i'm not sure about the rears, but the front shocks are correct. leave them set at 0" (stock height) and they'll work flawlessly and give you a more controlled ride.
