I need to replace my rusty terrible old Ironman rear shocks and I'm looking at the Bilstein's on sale on JBA but I don't know whether to get the 2.5" or the 4". I have OME HD springs and 2-3 extra isos and am sitting at about 21.5" from hub center to fender. I'm thinking I should just go with the 2.5" but looking for some help. Thanks fellas

They should work fine for you ( the 2.5s )

The Bilstein 185552's would work, just grab few 1/2" washers to shim the shock mounts. JBA doesn't list part numbers so I'm not sure if that's what they consider 2.5 or 4.

Thanks Morgan, looks like those would be the most economical option
