Default Bilstein 5100's

Looking to replace my rear shocks with the bilstein 5100's. I have 3" blocks in the back. Does anyone have a link or part number for them. I've been looking all day and can't find ones that fit a 3" block lift. They all say suspension lift... I'm new to the lifted truck game so if they are the same I'm sorry I'm an idiot lol

You don't need a longer shock if your truck Is 4WD..

truck is only 2wd. Bought it lifted on 35's. I assume a block lift is not the same as a suspension lift and all the shocks I see all say that they are for a suspension lift.

When you add a block in the rear you are lifting the suspension.. 2WD came with no block.. so, you have a 3" suspension lift in the rear. stock length shocks should still be ok.
