Van Savana/Espress 2500 & Suburban shock

[Liechi735]

Hello,

I read number of pages in the forum. I want to confirm an information.
Is the rear shock of a Savana 2500 2005 is the same as the Suburban 1500 1999?
Because i had a fifth leaf when i change them. This give me 1 1/8´´ more high. The original lengh of the shock seems to short.
I would like to put Bilstein 4600 (over 7300lbs, the van is 7500lbs) but it is for stock hight. Or i am looking to put the 5100 (+7300) with the ajustable hight.
Did someone had a similar situation?
Is there a bracket or something else that i could put to extand the 4600?
Or the 5100 (Suburban fit) is my solution?

I will turn crazy! I read, i read, i read and i dont find the answer!!!!

Thanks folks for your help.

Hi I'm a long time lurker and have learned a ton on this thread and others. I'm finally getting around to replacing the wheels and tires on my mostly stock 2011 AWD rig. I had my heart set on these American Classics at 17" and planning on running 265's (no lift). Their fitment guide...
