I have purchased a Rock Krawler lift (from RK) that should be here in about a week and a half. I ordered Bilstein 5100 shocks to go with it (from Quadratec). I received the 2 rear shocks but found out today that the front shocks are out of stock until mid to end of May(according to Bilstein). I swapped my order for the Biltsein 5600 which are the reservior shocks. My question is this....

Will it be alright to run the 5100's in the rear and the 5600's in the front? Shock size for all of them are what I need for my lift just front set is reservior and rear set is not. I would rather not spend an extra $250 on swapping the rears to the reservior shocks to match the front sedt if I do not have to (but I will if it is necessary).

Thanks

 

Why not just buy from a different vendor? Someone will have stock

 

Yeah actually I just found a front set from another vendor

 

Valving should be the same on the two shocks and would ride identical. One just has more oil capacity and the cool factor.
