FINDING THE CORRECT SHOCK

 

Let's face it, this is not like replacing the shocks on a stock vehicle. So to get the correct fitment, take a few minutes to check.

  • With the vehicle at normal Ride Height, measure shocks. See picture below for different mounting configurations.
  • Vehicles equipped with air bags measure again with bags dumped. NOTE shock should not be the limiting factor on downward travel. Damage to shock will occur.
  • What type mounting configuration
    Loop / Loop
    Pin / Pin
    Crossbar (scroll down, photo how to measure)
  • Is it a front or rear shock?
  • Independent or Standard Axle?

Look inside a Bilstein
