Superlift shock?
I bought my truck used with a Superlift kit already installed. I was told by the previous owner that it was a 4" kit. Is there a way to tell exactly what system I have? I am currently running 5100 series Bilsteins and am chewing up the black rubber bushing on the right front shock. Any one know why I would have this problem? Also I have a pretty loud "clunk" when I hit bumps on my right rear (that is where it sounds like to me). Does it sound like I need new shocks? Are the 5100 series shocks even the correct set up for my lift? Any input would help. The noise is driving me insane.

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think those shocks will work with 4" of lift... I believe they are only good for 2-2.5" or so. Sounds like that may be your problem. Good luck.

That is what I think also. When I called Bilstein to order some bushing for my from schock they said that it doesnt match up. Do you know what shocks I need?

I have the 4" superlift in my DRW 03 but it doesn't have the Bilstien shocks.
Places like Top gunz customs list 3 different shocks available for the kit and the Bilstien 5100 are one of the options.
I need to replace shocks as mine has the Superride shocks and they need replacing. I am going to order new Bilstiens from them soon

After some further investigating. I am running 5100 series in the front and 5125 series in the rear.
Is there a way to tell exactly what system I have?
If you have one of the rear shocks off take a measurement from eye to eye. I think mine measured 34".
