What is this crazy deal?

Buy 4 get 1 free! Basically you get one rear shock free, $75 mail in rebate.

 

Front's are $105ea. and the rears are $75each so they are slightly cheaper than the 5100's to start and a great deal after the rebate.

I put the bilstein 5100s on the rear of my 14 High Country with a new 2" block a few weeks ago. Ride is unbelievable compared to stock. Liked it so much I got the adjustable 5100s for my front, remove

Hello, I'm not new to the forum but I just joined and figured I'd contribute to the community.   2016 Silverado 1500 "Z71" removed rancho's and swapped with Bilstein 5100's all around. So after d

I just got done with installing my 6112's on my 2014 GMC Sierra Crew Cab.  Reading some install guides on here really helped, along with printing some Chilton Repair guide torque specs that I got from

The deal is only good for this month, better jump on the deal before it's over!!

 

I just seen it on their website last week when I was comparing shocks, jumped on it right when I seen it.

 

I called and talked to Pro Comp, they offer a 90 day ride guarantee with 100% money back as well so you can't go wrong and they said that they are pretty much the same to the 5100's.

Is it on Pro Comps site, or somewhere else? I'll do some reading. I was planning on waiting out the 5100s, as I'm not in a huge hurry...but if they get good reviews, that might change.

Yes, the rebate form is on ProComp's website along with some information.

 

Fronts - ZX2108

Rears - ZX2020

 

The rears are the same part number as the last gen trucks for 2014+ non NHT trucks.

If my Bilsteins are here by the end of July I'm gonna look into these.

I've got a total of 130 miles on this truck (15 CC Sierra 4x4), so I'm not too unhappy with the stock z71 Ranchos, at least not yet. Trying to decide on a 2 to 2 1/2" lift/ leveling or ride-height adjustable shocks on the front.

 

The ProComp for the front #ZX2108 has 2 settings, with the top one at 2" lift, and has a diameter of 51mm and is in stock at several places for $105 each. The Bilstein 5100 for the front #24-238304) have 3 (maybe 4) settings, with the highest providing about 1.9" of lift, and has a diameter of 46mm, and is backordered nationwide, but Summit lists them at $90/ each.

 

Anyone have the ProCOmps actually installed and care to give a review? I've had several sets of the 5100s on a couple of Tundras, and the members on here basically all give them a thumbs up, so I wouldn't hesitate to buy them.

I just posted a review of the pro comp shocks that I just installed in another thread, unfortunately I have only installed the rears but will get to the fronts soon.

I absolutely will measure the fender height, right now I have the RC 2" so it better be the same lol

 

I have 33x12.50r18 tires with no rubbing at all so it needs to stay that way

I ordered 5100s in early may...still nada. Rears went on easy

I ordered mine Mid-June, the website said expected ship out date of 6/24. I contacted them over the weekend and apparently Bilstein just isn't making them, or they are flying off the shelves because my ship out date was pushed back to 7/31.

 

If it gets pushed back again I might look at the Pro Comps, although I really want to keep a bit of rake on my truck since I do throw stuff back in there occasionally.

I contacted ProCOmp and was told that the two settings on the front were 1) factory heighth and 2) 1.75" lift. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and order them. My local shop (4Wheel Parts) said they could get them ($189) and install them ($153) with no alignment, for a grand total of $366.72, including $17 in tax and $8 in supplies. Is that a decent enough deal?

 

Not going to have them do an alignment since I'll have it done at Firestone and bite the bullet and get the lifetime alignment package.

      Gas Prices

      Big oil is raking in billions from the Iran war. Can it avoid Trump’s fury?   Remember I said Big Oil is 'Vertically Integrated"?   Even as they no longer own the majority of the "Pump" they still own the "Well". Crude price upward pressure does not translate into that same pressure on production. Pumping cost remain unaffected and the gap is pure profit. Even after subtraction of a minor, comparatively, lower amount from supposed, but not always, realized refining volume. Consumers hate war, Big Oil, not so much.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      We live in a world where the average person expects more. People say wages and our needs are farther apart. My first new home had 3 bedrooms and one bedroom. My first car and truck had what would be considered a stripped or work vehicle. In my neighborhood back then there were more homes like that and cars too. Middle managers and second home buyers worked their way up to the fancy houses and cars. Car loans were 3 years. GM had different models of cars for different income levels. The cars were pretty much the same size if you wanted a big vehicle. The nameplate designated the opulence. Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Cadillac.  To be fair some of the cost is government mandated. We can’t blame them for giving us what people will pay for. Careful advertising steering people towards more profitable SUVs and trucks. As I learned recently a minivan is a cheaper more efficient form of transportation. Certainly easier to live with. Somebody realized the profit margin wasn’t as big and gave it a soccer mom label. So it lost its coolness. They’re making it the masses are buying it. You hit your hand with a hammer you can’t blame the hammer.

      Electrical /Immobilizer Data- Battery Voltage (V) Test malfunction

      By Aussie2500HD · Posted

      Hi All, I’m In need of advice regarding a scan result on my 2023 Silverado HD.  The Sensor Supply voltage relay states ON But…. the following 3 tests show Malfunction. Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit HIGH voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit LOW voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit OPEN test status - Malfunction. No DTC codes are stored. No DIC Lights. Remote Key Fob has been giving a few issues, namely Vehicle will not respond to an Open/Lock command from the key fob. New batteries installed to FOB made no difference, plus on one occasion recently the vehicle unlocked using the Fob, the vehicle started normally via the push button, then a random warning came up on the DIC stating the Remote Key was not found, all this while the key was located next to the central cup holders. Does anyone have any input or advice regarding this scenario? TIA

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need
