Rancho and Bilstein have sites that list the specs, etc.

They are both good shocks.

The Bils generally allow a shorter compressed length for the equivalent travel...useful if lifting more in the future.

The best shock for you might depend upon why you want new shocks....which we have no way of knowing.

Yeah, get the Bils in the 5100 series.

If getting all four, get the one's for the 3" lift, 10-20% stiffer than stock, depending upon if you are in up armor mode in the future.

If you've done a PML of course, you are probably just bouncing the bumpstops, and shocks won't help. wink

If only getting the fronts...same on the stiffness, but, they are the same length with or w/o the lift.

(The bils for the lift fit even w/o a lift...giving you the option in the future, with no downside)

The 5150's you mentioned are great, but from your description of why you need them...well, you don't need them.

If $ is no object, sure, they are great.
