rear shocks

[dwzook]

So I am finishing installing the rough country 2" leveling kit. Put bilstein struts on the front. But I just got another notifition that the rear bilsteins are out of stock. All the part stores here say they're not available. And this is the second online store that said they're available and then turned out not so. So my question is, what would be a good alternative for the rear shocks?

If you've put on lift spacers in the rear, you really shouldn't have been targeting OEM replacement Bilsteins for the rear. (But you didn't tell us what part number you couldn't find in stock, so I may be wrong.) Are you targeting the Tahoe size F4-BE5-E375-H0 or F4-BE5-E380-H0

Just go for the longer BDS #55619 (hydraulic) or FOX 98224619 and enjoy the performance improvement.

Well I guess good thing they were out of stock! Lol. I thought OEM was ok with just the 2" leveling kit? But thanks for the advice roadie, I'll look into those.

Am I going to run into any problems running the OEM billsteins in the front?

Did you buy aftermarket Yellow and Blue Bilsteins for the front? If so, those are NOT the same as the black crap-ola OEM Bilsteins.

Yes, I got the yellow/blue bilstein 4600 series on the front.
