5100 question

Post by Caleb4130 »

So I’m going to be running drop brackets, 4” springs and threat radius arms. My question is when you buy a kit from solo or desolate that comes with 5100 shocks are they the same ones I can pick up from oreillys for a 4” lift? Both 5100, just wondering if there is a benefit to getting them from desolate or solo.

Should be the same ones. UNLESS Solo/Desolate has done some homework and found a shock with the same physical size (same stud vs. eyelet mount configuration & same compressed & extended lengths) but with a valving they prefer over the ones Bilstein lists for the bronco. That would be a HUUUGE long shot in my mind though.
