I just talked to them online, they gave it to me for the same price of $308.44. Great customer service. This is$25 off normal pricing but still the best so far.

Installed the rear 5100's today. Short test ride afterward. Smoothed out some bumps noticibly. This is while it was still on the jacks. Can't wait to install fronts now.

Just had mine put on front/rear.....rides amazing.   Update....the best comparison I can make is that the 5100s ride like factory autoride shocks on my denali....always composed. Several large spee

The rear shocks don't add any height. They are only shocks.   The front shocks accommodate the upper and lower OEM spring pad. The lower spring pad register location is controlled by a snap ring wh

I called.. and yes they have them ready to ship. Coupon code - W052515 saves another $25.00

 

I got all 4 shocks shipped today for 308.44!

I cancelled my order with AJ and got the same deal as GMC-AT, when I called they had 22 Fronts left and 6 Rear's and said they will ship tomorrow. Thanks for the Head's-UP Guys!!

I had a shop quote me $700-800 to put on all 4 King shocks, Cognito UCAs, and front and rear Helwig bars. I didn't think it was too far off, but I ended up doing the whole job myself. It gets harder to do this work for me as I get older and my arthritis sucker punches me afterward. Felt good to do it myself though.

I know what you mean. Did the back Bilstein shocks myself, but let my dealer do the fronts for $300 including the alignment. Well worth it to me. Every time I drive it now, I am amazed at how much better she rides!

I got screwed on the coupon code apparently. It's good for $25 off of $200 but since my order for the fronts already shipped, the rears by themselves don't meat the minimum.

I may try calling to see if they'll apply it, if not I may just wait until I test the fronts. Can anyone who has installed them vouch for, or against, the ride of the rears compared to stock?

I put the rear shocks on first and drove around for a week before getting the fronts installed. Yes, I noticed a big difference in the ride of my 2014 Silverado LTZ DC 2WD. It is much more controlled and has lost the "bubble head" affect as my wife calls it. Smoother and more controlled.

I looked on their site and don't even see Bilstein listed? Am I blind? Or do you have to call bc they don't have them listed on there? Thanks

I wish I could take credit. I think I stumbled on this in another forum, but I'm glad I could spread the wealth!

Mine just showed up VIA FedEx, super fast shipping and a nice looking product. I called around, most places wanted around a $100 to change them and another $45 for a alignment. Having them installed Wednesday at 2:30.. Thanks to this forum I got a better price than I first anticipated, I hope its worth $$$ West Virginia is good testing grounds so Ill do a little write-up after.. Thanks Again

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
