I’m looking to install a 3.5” lift on my 2018 JK. I’m looking at bilstein 5100s and am not sure if it would be better to buy the shocks that range from 2”-3.5” or the shocks that range from 3.5”-5”.
 
Will this be a DD or a Offroad Jeep requiring alot of articulating?

Also hope you got a 3.5 lift kit with the adjustable control arms and adjustable track bars so you'll be able to get it aligned properly.

Mostly daily driver… and even when it is on trails I won’t be doing anything too extreme.
 
If you have a steel bumper and winch then the front won't really be a 3.5" lift so it might only get lifted 3" in the front.

Does the website give the compressed and expanded lengths. I know some Websites do.
