I have a 2022 Gladiator Sport with the Customer Preferred 23B Towing Package on it. I want to put a set of Bilstein 33-305288 B8 5100 1.5-3" lift Shock Absorbers on the Rear; In the Description it says Fits Jeep Gladiator JT 1922, Requires longer bump stops. (Keeping the stock springs) What ones would you recommend?

For what purpose?

Unless I am missing something, then you should really put the correct (stock) length shocks on.

If you put longer shocks on with the factory suspension, then you are limiting uptravel and increasing downtravel. The need for longer bumpstops is to have the bumpstops limit uptravel before the shock bottoms out.

If you do so, you will have problems, like:
... bottoming-out against the longer bumpstops during 'normal' driving.
... excessive downtravel, possibly over-extending bkake lines or sensor wiring.

The correct shocks for OEM length are Bilstein 4600s. 4600s and 5100s are the same shock just different lengths. If you are keeping the stock height you want 4600s. I ran these on my stock JK.
