Excellent price
You mean 25-187762?
We have those for $159 each, will work on lifts from 4-6" in the rear. Valving is a little firmer than the 5100 rears, but should be better to control the larger tires you are probably putting on there.

I went with the heavier valving because I have the shell and all my camping gear permanently stored in my truck. There is softer valving if you like in the 25-187755 shocks with the same measured lengths as the 25-187762 that are installed in my truck. I love the way they look and perform!

Yes, you are correct. They are 25-187762. I corrected my post. That is an awesome price. I would of bought from you if I would of known your price!

I think the valving you went with is the best for most, either carrying a load or with larger tires.
We did some math and came up with these applications.
2009-2014 Ford F150 4WD Rear - Bilstein 5165 "Universal Length" Remote Reservoir 2.0 Shocks
Bilstein 25-175783 - 0" Rear Lift / Stock Replacement
Bilstein 25-187748 - 1.5-3.5" Rear Lift
Bilstein 25-187762 - 4-6" Rear Lift
Dont need the reservoir? Then you need the Bilstein 5125
Bilstein 33-185576 - 4-6" Rear Lift

Great info. It should come in handy for anyone thinking about purchasing these great shocks. Your prices listed on your site are the best that I've seen.

What part number would it be for the matching from strut shock with 0 lift?
Thanks in advance!

Anyone know where to get bushing sleeves for these?
They are universal so 5/8 bushing holes. The bolts for f150 are smaller that 1/2"
Mine clunk when I installed due to slight slop. Still searching for correct bushing.

Still good reviews after some more time? How are they holding up with some mileage?
My 2011 has a pro comp 6" lift, so the 33-185576 should be the correct length.
If Total Automotive has them in stock, I'm ready!
I had my rear shock resis mounted on top of my air bags in the wheel well on my super duty... planning on doing the same thing with these.
Thank you for the input, probably saved a few hundo from the other shocks I was looking at.
