Thank you my Queen!

Shock extended collapsed travel

OEM......... 15.0" 11.25" 3.75"
Edelbrock.. 15.67" 11.08" 4.6"
Fox.......... 16.0" 11.5" 4.5"
Cognito..... 18.42" 11.77" 6.65"
Rancho .....15.77" 13.43" 2.34"

I like the price of the Cognito's, and the extra travel, but would like to replace front and rear shocks so I leaning torwards Fox.

Isn't the rear shock just a standard shock, so I don't see why Bilstein would not have a factory replacement for the rear to match the front retrofits offered by Cognito.
