I've thought of starting a thread in the Lifted Suspension Section for just this info where we can put shock part #'s and brands for different lift sizes. 2.5in, 4 in, 6in, 8in, 12in front and rear. IIRC, K10/1500 and K20/2500 are the same shocks. K30 might be different though.

I wonder if a "Files" section could be added for pdf and excel files. Maybe make it so that any file uploads would have to be sent to someone specific for upload to keep stuff not related to the forums out (hard drive space abuse).

Pro Comp 4" spring lift, Bilstein 5100 series shocks

Here's the Bilstein 5100 series part numbers that come the closest to the Gabriel shocks listed above. These are an within an inch, being a little long, rather than short.

Front: 33-230320 (15.1-24.3)
Back: 33-185569 (17.9-29.7)

Thanks for the info everyone! :cheers:
