I have a 1950 chevy 3100 in need of new front shocks and I have been considering Bilsteins. I find that they list one part number 55-r110 for stock suspension and 55-r108 for lowered suspension. I do have a dropped axle and posies springs and would assume that the lowered set up is preferred but I cant find specs on either version. Anyone know the differences between the two?

Thanks in advance!

Bilstein should have a spec section, Google them.
