Hello all ... Well I am sure it has been answered but I cant find it. I tow quite a bit with my lawn equiptment, rocks, mulch, etc. on a daily basis. My back shocks are getting saggy with a loaded trailer. They are the orig. shocks front and rear. Its time to upgrade. I have green keys and shock ext. sitting in the garage. I will be doing the 2" block for the rear from another post in DIY. I see shocks that people use, but I tow with it, not drive around or back and forth to work. I wanted the 5100's, but dont know what part numbers to get and what lengths. The other post says to use longer shocks. I just want to make sure that these shocks hold out when I'm loaded. Eventually I will get air bags for teh rear, money permitting later on. All opinions welcomed. BTW: This has to be done ASAP.

1st, 2" block is alot for only keys up front. You are going to see to much lift in front to make level with 2" blocks.
2nd, Bilstein's are a great shock. We offer these 2 set up's that sound like what you are talking about:

I dont mind the raked look. I haul a trailer alot, so it will sit level after that. But In the DIY post, the picture of the gentlemens truck is level. Unless I missed something LMK. Those are nice prices. I Think I will just PM after your response.

All pends how much you crank up on the front end to match the rear.
