Bilstien shock fitment , KORE suspension

[MJarske]

After 14 years one of my Bilstien 5100 rear shocks are leaking oil. I have the KORE mini leaf packs giving a 1 inch lift to rear. Also have airbags. Should I replace with the Bilstien PN 24-191203 for 1 inch over stock or PN 24-186636 for 2 inch over stock? I would think the 1 inch over but wonder if bags give extra lift over mini packs.

The biggest factor is compressed length if you still have factory bump stop travel, the stock leaf's even with mini packs only have about 8-9" of travel. Those shocks are not position sensitive like a bypass shock so make sure you get a shock that is short enough and the extended length wont really matter in that application as the leaf's will likely be the limiting factor on down travel not the shocks.
