XPLORx4 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Hi all I have a pair of used (30,000 miles) Bilstein 5150 shocks in good condition for sale. For use with 2" lift applications. $120 + shipping. The springs are already sold. PM me if you're interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjonez Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Dang. I would be interested if I didn't just put in the single-resi version of these. What's going in instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 I replaced them with Bilstein 33-185569. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RainGoat Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I replaced them with Bilstein 33-185569. Curious as to why? Maybe something I can learn here as I plan to lift this spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawairish Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Pretty sure hes completing his SFD install, and his replacements are a bit longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Pretty sure hes completing his SFD install, and his replacements are a bit longer. Bingo. Last issue is that I accidentally drilled the additional hole for the panhard drop bracket too low, making the drop bracket angled to the left, and now the panhard rod is shifted 1/2" to the left, so now I need a longer/adjustable panhard rod, because my rear shocks look like this: /_____/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawairish Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Is it correctable with welded patch and/or re-drill? That was one of my concerns when I put the KrF bracket on my buddy's truck...it's a little tricky figuring out the hole alignment. A small misalignment translates into a larger one at the upper PH mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A small misalignment translates into a larger one at the upper PH mount. Yeah, it's probably 100% correctable by redrilling the holes. I haven't had a chance to mess with it for a few weeks, since after I lifted the rear 6", I was getting really bad vibrations from the driveline when lightly coasting, and it's been at a shop where we've been trying to isolate where it's coming from. At first we thought it was the rear differential, but now it's looking like I might need a slip-yoke eliminator and double cardan driveshaft to get rid of the vibration.

hawairish Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 That's unfortunate, but also a little surprising. From the few others who have that much rear lift, it doesn't sound like that's been an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 Yeah, it's difficult to tell if what I'm experiencing is unique to my truck or if the issue might exist in others' builds, but they figure it's a "normal" side-effect of lifting that high or they don't care.

hawairish Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Sounds like that shop works on too many Jeeps. How's the pinion angle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
