Bilstein 7100 14" short bodies

Post by Justin »

I'm guessing someone around here needs these. Especially if you're running a heavy engine. Not mine.

I started researching shock options earlier this week but ran out of time.

I imagine these require mods such as shock hoops, etc ?

Great shocks, but you are going to have to find room, very long. F250 mounts, hoops, etc. I'd think you'd need long arms to use all the available shock.

x2. F-250 mounts at a minimum, something longer like hoops or fabricated mounts is even better. They're pretty much the idea setup for a rig that will see any meaningful off roading. They're also easy to rebuild and revalve, so you get some flexibility in setup. These are valved a little heavily for a Bronco-the norm for front use would be 360/80.

Justin, do you know if the valves are interchangeable between these shock and the pair I bought from you? If so then I should have a set that may work.

As far as I know all of the 7100 shocks have interchangeable shim stacks.

all the 7100 valve stacks are interchangeable. What do you need? i have a bunch of valves here.

If you do not have long arms you need to run the 12" 7100's

Here is one idea to mount those same shocks using F-250 shock towers. Requires 2" body lift or limiting up-travel to 4".
