Bilstein 5100's

I noticed alot of people are running the Bilstein 5100 shocks. I want to put them on, but, I am concerned because they are listed for use 2" lift kits. Can I run them with a stock ride height? Thanks

I am running Bilsteins on my truck with no lift and they work fine. They are the yellow and blue and should be BE-2549 and BE-2550. I believe they are an OEM type replacement. I definately like them better than what was on there when I bought the truck.

I have been running the 5100's for some time now. I like them a lot. It is my understanding that they have two different sizes. I specificly had to ask for the larger size due to me putting on leveling kit. I'd call a distributor to confirm.
