I'm trying to figure out if Bilstein 5100 shocks will fit a 2005 Express Van. I've never sized shocks for a "custom" application so I'm hoping to get a little guidance.
http://www.bilsteinus.com/products/lifted-truck-off-road/5100-series-shocks.html (p. 13)
I know the OEM specs for the shocks on it are:
Front
Extended - 15.07"
Collapsed - 10.44"
Rear
Extended - ~23.3"
Collapsed - ~14.35"
I intend to attempt cranking the torsion bars just to level it and leave the rear alone at this point. Their "search for your vehicle" tool does not match anything in the 5100 series to an Express van. Should I just accept what the search is telling me or is this most likely a matter of them not marketing 5100 shocks to the van crowd so they could fit, but no one has tried? With all of the models they have I find it hard to believe nothing will work.
Thanks!
