I installed my OME heavy springs and Bilstein front strut / rear shock combo. Rides awesome.

I'm running my favorite AT tire, the Yokohama Geolander AT-S in 245 75r16.

Thanks to everyone for sharing their information!

Bilstein 5125 part number BE5-A462-H5. This is a 9.25" travel shock with 255/70 valving. The measurements are extended 24.35" and compressed 15.11". About a .5" difference from the OME L shock.

The only thing I did different from stock is add a few grade 8 washers when I installed them.

So far so good.

They don't build the 5100/5125 in yellow. They are the silver color. Only the HD line is the yellow with blue dust cover (I think).
