I will soon be installing my Full Traction 6" lift on my 99 xj. Im very interested in using some bilstein shocks, 5100/5125/5150 series. My problem is I don't know which to order. Here is my expected setup:
6" Full Traction LA lift with JKS bar pin eliminators in the upper rear and lower front shock mounts and JKS shock mount conversions in the upper front mount.
With the JKS parks I can run eye to eye shocks correct?
I've been searching for a while and have more questions.
What # bilstein shocks are you guys running with a similar setup? I'm looking for a firm ride so 255/70 valving would be good for me right? And what about travel? What compressed and extended lenghts should I be looking for - mind you I don't have the lift installed yet. Will I need to upgrade bumpstops or add liming straps? Not a problem but would like to know what to expect.
For example the BF5-A187-H1 is a 5150 series shock with 11.93" of travel with the 255/70 valving. Its 17.78 at full compression and 29.70 at full extension. Will this fit my setup or is there something better? Thanks in advance.
