Bilstein has to have something for us. My adjustable Bilstein coils on my audi look exactly like that of course minus the coils. Im callng them.
We shouldnt have to be using extenders. Thats BS.

Well I just heard from my rep at the 4 wheel parts shop. He called Bilstien, and they swore up and down that we do not have Bilsteins on our H3's.

He said the shocks are an up graded Monroe shock that they put the Bilstein name on.


How do ya like them apples??


Now I'm pissed.

OK, but you were referring to Rancho, I am referring to the stock OEM "Bilsteins" which are not Bilsteins, according to Bilstein.

Bebe, I don;t have the truck here now, but I know for a fact that the bumpstops on your are higher thatn our. My guess is double of what ours rides at. The H3 is getting a new....well a few warranty things done. That suck you went through that many shocks. I did check and the Rancho 9000's that I have on there are the "zero height" ones.

That extender pic you posted is the Trux kit? Or is that what your local 4X shop did. When I saw the pic of what you had made from the threaded rod had me concerned on safety. If it were to come loose or break (the longer that rod, the weaker it will be when/ if it is felxed). Extending the other end I think is the safer/ beefier way to go. I like the last pics of that setup. I don;t think we need it on ours, but like I said, i think ours isn;t cranked up that high.
