    I know this thread is a little old, but I just found it through another thread.

    Based on this thread, the stock rear shock measurements are 12.54" to 19.25".
    The 5150 A195-H1's are 14.17" to 22.5". So with 2" bump extensions they shouldn't bottom out unless the the listed short range is false as suggested above...

    Alaska, any update on your dealings with Bilstein?

    I dont know much about the build up of shocks, but could the top nut be reinforced by welding it in place after the eye was correctly positioned?

    I just bought a pair of these to try. This is actually the first negative I have heard on them. I bought them after reading rave reviews on other forums. Hopefully I have better luck.
