Default Re: questions for my lift....

I can't recall where I got this information, but I'm pretty certain that the Cognito/Bilstein H2 shocks (BE5-A937-H0) are longer than the stock ones; but not long enough to be used with a lift kit. They give you more travel for spaced and leveled trucks.

Perhaps I got the info from someone over at Trail Duty (trailduty.com), I know I was in dialog with them a lot when I was making my shock decisions. Their site does list these shocks as: "Can be used for stock height, torsion key lifted vehicles, or vehicles with Cognito upper control arm leveling kit."

Regarding longer shocks in general, one thing that comes to my mind (and I may be WAY off here since I'm not a mechanic), but if your shocks offer too much travel isn't there a chance that a coil spring could come unseated at full extension?
