Shocks
What is the part number off of your rear shock? Superlift SS and SSR shocks are Bilstein as well. I have a 5125 Series (can't remember the actual part # right now) if it matches maybe we can work something out. I bought my shocks from rocky mountain suspension to save money and I ended up paying in customer service and stupidity. Took 3 weeks of garbage to get all of the right part number so in the end I ended up with 2 extra shocks. So, I may have a rear shock that might work for you. Jus the part of the number stamped on the bottom of the shock. ( For example 6141 H6 .)

Well, crap... My 3.5" Superflex kit is on the way.. I hope they get this figured out. I have heard of some ppl running the FT rear trackbar. I wonder if that is a viable fix.... 
Anybody want to chime in with the FT rear trackbar on the RE lift??

I've noticed alot of ya'll back east run every brand execpt Teraflex. Alot of folks out west run their stuff. The only problem I've had was with poly bushing drying out. They replace them every time, no charge. Just a thought about another one of our sponsors....

Sponsoring Manufacturer
Thanks for the recommendation. We had a small batch of bad bushings and have no problem with replacing them.

I was going to go with the Teraflex but after reading so much on this forum, I confused the rear trackbar attachment point failure problem with TF instead of SkyJacker..... I looked into the FT and it was a toss up between FT and RE. I went with the RE because of their reputation.... I guess I just jumped the gun on this one. I just hope that I don't run into the broken rear shock problem.
I did hear of some ppl running the FT adjustable rear trackbar with no problems. I guess that will be the route to go if there are any problems with the right rear shock contacting the bracket...

it is actually 1-3/4" in the rear, 2" on the front to level it out. I didnt need much lift to run 33's & i wanted to level the rake, so the kit fit my needs. I went just high enough to do that. It isnt a huge difference, but it suits my needs.
May or may not upgrade in the future...
yeah... right...
i almost said that without laughing.
