Bilstein doesn't list a shock PN for rear of 2wd 2006 and up. Anyone done Bilstein rear shocks in a 2006 up 2WD? The Bilsteins are listed for 2wd up to 2005 only, not sure why. Did some searches but no luck, just want to be sure what I am getting into. My understanding is the HDs are valved the same as the 5100s, is that true? I did the 5100s in the front on the second position and got 2" net lift with stock springs. Sure took care of the front Rake/saggy look. Ride and handling are HUGE improvement, any doubts about ride quality from stock were gone, Wife is thrilled. Problem is I can feel how bad/worn the rears are now (110k stock Tokicos) and want to finish the job. Thanks!

I have an '05 & I used the BE5-E703-H0 shocks for the rear. I don't believe they would be any different for the '06 models. I am too lazy to search right now, but I am almost positive there are a few people here with '06+ models that have used these same shocks...

Jtanner, I think you are right. Just want to be sure install goes well. I guess I will just have to email a couple suppliers and get their opinion.

I installed Bilsteins on the front & rear of my 06 two wheel drive about six months ago, big improvement.

Bought them from the Shock warehouse. These are the part numbers of the shocks I installed.

Fronts F4-BE5-C513-H0
Rears F4-BE5-C514-H0

And the feedback on your install in 2006 2wd. Don't know why Bilstein doesn't list the part, but I'm going to install same PN as you did. Appreciate the help.
