Default Help! Bilstein 5100 shorter?

Need some help. I ordered new Bilstein 5100's to replace my Rancho 9100's (which blew out after a year of highway driving....) The rear shocks were the same size. The front Bilsteins aware about 4" shorter than the Ranchos?

I have a 4" Rancho lift. Even on the highest setting, it appears the Bilsteins will lower my front end. Am I Missing something?
Thanks

I told the salesman what my setup was.

The Rancho 9000XL shocks ride way better than the Bilstein 5100s
