Bilstein adjustable for 2014?


Recommended Posts

I agree that I want a polished product, but they've had a year...I know they have a lot of makes and models to keep up with but you would think the half ton versions of the big name brands would be priority in the aftermarket parts world. Maybe I'm just impatient, but I feel like they should be available by (or before) now.

Those look great...I found them on www.eshocks.com for $75.75 each and shipped for free. I havent pulled the trigger yet on buying, because my truck is at the dealer having a new OEM Rancho shock installed. After I get my truck, I'll drive it for a bit and decide if I want to put the Bilsteins on.

 

Part # 24-186957 for the rears.

I am ordering these and just going to wait on the fronts.

Me too. But, I've never been disappointed by their products

Part # 24-186957 for the rears. These shocks are about a half inch longer then stock.

 

I got my rear shocks in yesterday and installed today. I took a quick before and after test drive and the ride is better. Its not a huge difference but it is better and makes me feel the front more. I want new fronts ASAP. I think after the fronts even with the stiffer tires my ride might be as good as stock.

My truck has z60 suspension, rough country 2.5" lift/level, and 275/65/r20 Nitto tires.

Is it safe to assume I can use the KYB's with the stock ride height?

How did you know what to buy? I am on eShocks.com right now and they do not list the 2014 Silverado.

Ok, I did a little more reading... These are Bilstein's, not KYB, and are for the 07 - 12 according to their catalog. I see from another poster that they do fit the 14, but I wonder if something actually made for the 14 would ride even better.

Rumor is that bilstein is working in a set for the 2014s.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but has anyone heard any news on the ETA of the Bilstein's for the '14? Looking to level my new ride out the proper way. Thanks.

It shows a couple options on their website..

The guys seeking over 2" of lift will be disappointed. The last version went to 1.77". You'll need some spacers to get more.

Couple of sights are showing these as discontinued. Perhaps a new model is on the way that will work with the 14s and be backwards compatible for older models
