Default Bilstein w/ 6" lift

Im looking for ways to get 8 inches of lift without buying a new kit or body lift. I have a 6" spacer in the front and 4" blocks in the rear. I know Bilstein shocks can be adjusted to 2". Any ideas??

you can do that, people will also just use a level kit and for the rear get a AAL

Well I don't really want to stack two spacers... But I'll go Bilstein reservoirs in the front with an AAL

You can also get the bilsteins made to replace the big spacer and then put a level on top of that. I plan on getting those after my brakes

GOOD F'N luck buddy..

ive been trying to get some since MAY 11' and theyre sold out!!

bilstein only makes them for RCD who distributes them.

i was told they would be in stock end of this month and now they said not until at LEAST september


they are $430 for 4 shocks.

I'd like to find out!

I flipped my truck on its side during winter and from the tow truck pulling it down onto the wheels, it came down HARD. blew out the shocks and i need new ones badly.

I was trying to get them from topguncustomz which was the only place i knew of that had them

talked to RCD directly and they confirmed the wait and told me they are not a retail business...

I too went through the fiasco with topguncustomz. their eBay site said 5 in stock so I figured I got lucky and snagged a pair. 2 days later I recieved a shipping notification from fed ex and got real excited. A week goes by and no tracking number. I called them and they were like "oh yeah we don't have any of those the site was wrong.we have no idea how long the backorder is...wanna just wait for them?" I told em to give me back my money and ill get something else from somewhere else because that is ridiculous. I'd start looking for something else.
