Well i just wanted to get on here and say i tryd buying shocks for a 99-04 ford f-350 to fit my 1983 k30 that i just put a 4” lift on. THIS DOES NOT WORK!!
It will if you wanna drill holes out bigger and get the steel sleeve out of the old shock and beat it in the new one or beat new ones out bc they are too small. They are on… but not without alot of work. Easier to just buy ones that fit if anyone was wondering

10-4. And some of the squarebody options don’t work as advertised either.
Bilstein in particular.
I returned them all (Bilstein) and went with skyjacker. Half the price (probably half the quality as well) but I could get everything that fit without having to fck around with the sleeves and bushings and even more expensive shocks than the 5100s that I bought.
