Rear Shock Measurements...FYI

[Belcher]

Does anyone know what the expanded and compressed length measurements are of the 5th gen OEM REAR shocks? Trying to compare them to some of the others on the market and just provide some additional info for everyone....Chris

Bilstein 5100 Rears.....0-1" Lift 23.5" Extended
14.91" Compressed

Bilstein 5160 Rears.....0-2" Lift 23.62" Extended
14.84 Compressed

Fox 2.0 Rears............0-1.5" Lift 23.55" Extended
14.95" Compressed

(Funny that if these work for 1.5" the Bilsteins should also ???)

Fox 2.0 Rears.............2-3" Lift 24.65" Extended
15.55" Compressed

Icon 2.0....................2-3" Lift 24.3" Extended
14.8" Compressed

Old Man Emu..............60080 23.75" Extended
14.48" Compressed

Old Man Emu..............60004 22.83" Extended
14.01" Compressed

(Both of the OME's are confirmed by ARB USA to fit the 5th Gens mounting)

King 2.5" Rear......with Resi......... 24.29" Extended
15.58" Compressed

I have some OEM 5th gen shocks sitting on the floor of my garage. I'll try and remember to measure them when i get home from work.

Stock should be about 22.5 extended length ~8.4 of shock travel... A full rear LT shock is about 28.5 ~ 11.5 of shock travel.

That would be great...looking for center to center extended on the stocks...unless you have something to compress it with :thumb:

I would be interested in seeing the lengths of the 2-3" lift Bilsteins. Honestly, I was hoping to go long travel this year but it doesn't look like a possibility now so I would like to have the next best thing.

This will help me in the future when I probably build a LT rear of my own.

Still need some solid measurements for the stocks...thanks.

Does anyone have the stock length?

 

[Belcher]

Still no stock measurements... I don't have any take offs to measure. Anybody want to help out with some specs chime in.

Isn't the 5160 for the 5th 0-2"?

Bilstein 5160's...are 0-2"....got the 1st post updated....Thanks. Should have seen the extended length was longer to accommodate.
