Good luck man….
I tried getting a set of 5100s for a 4” lift K20. Researched part numbers and confirmed and they were too short and the bushings were too small (and pressed in so tight I’d have had to beat up the shock to remove and order new or run smaller bolts on the front iirc.
I couldn’t find the right length. Iirc couldn’t get a longer extended length.
Never mind the bushings issue.
I found the right length and bolts size in one of the high $ Bilstein models I believe. But I returned the 5100s and got some cooler looking Skyjacker shocks that fit for half the price of the 5100s.
I think ORD offered replacement bushings the right bolt diameter but whatever.
And the steering stabilizer didn’t fit either. But it was a direct fit for the Ram 2500 so I put it on that truck. Lol

At the end of the day, even if my son’s truck got driven daily, it rides like a lumber wagon and it ain’t gonna benefit from a “better shock” for the ride.

I found some, went with the sky jacker set up! Should work just fine for the truck. Bilstein was more trouble than they were worth
