Rear Springs

I put on my new Bandit 4x4 rear springs, that I've had for over a year, on the truck today. Well, I'm not quite done yet, I just felt it was time to quit.

Anyway, Tommy, what rear shocks do you have on your truck?

I believe you have these, Bilstein 7100 Series:

Do you have the 10 travel? Did you get the 1/2" heim ends and what valving did you get?

I?ve got THESE 5150's, same as Dave and on his recommendation.

Now that I am look at those shocks, and at my truck, I'm not sure I can use those. The fixed reservoir probably won't clear my exhaust on the driver's side.

I need to find another option since my current Bilsteins limit my travel.

Could you do something like I did and fab up some shock mounts that would move the location to something that's less in the way?

can't flip them over Brian...shocks won't work the right way w/ the reservoir upside down.
