I'll second this. Just put a full set on this week. The rears are a 15 minute job and all you need is a 21mm wrench.

For our very light on the rears 22' LTD  Trail Boss  2.7L Turbo ......On our steep curvy narrow washboarded roads you let up on the throttle and idle up. 1500 RPM for that is max TQ and I ain't in a h

Fixed that for you.   Let's see, nothing has changed but the tires yet it is the shocks    Tyler

It’s not the shocks it’s not because the oil gets warmer It does it in the winter  My 2016 does it all the time on shitty roads don’t matter if I have the stock rims on and stock tires don’t matt

Can you post the Amazon link of the one you are using. Can't find any for my 2019 but the 2017-2018 might fit.

Thank you!

Moe before you order look up the rancho# for the rears for your 2019.  It shows to be an RS99198 and the Bilstein equivalent is a 24-186742.  Those also show to fit the 99-06 trucks.  Bilstein hasnt done much to cross them or even have a listing for a 2019.  I am thinking about ordering these soon.

Thanks for the heads up buddy. Yeah i don't like the idea of changing brand new shocks. I feel wasteful but 40k+ truck shouldn't bounce like that when crossing rails and when hitting bumps on the road.

I know there are a ton of folks who like Bilsteins...but I am looking into Eibach...heard really great things about them (very comparable to Bilsteins) but American made...utilizing factory springs, cost seem to be pretty close too...(and the front level is an actual 2" vs 1.8")

What type of roads are y'all running on? I live in Northern Canada where there is A LOT of swamp. Meaning many of our roads were corduroy, which is basically a road mat made of brush and tightly stacked logs, then cover with gravel and poverty pavement. These roads shift a lot in freeze-thaw cycles and the logs leave impressions in the driving surface over time, so its like a mild whoop section with a dirtbike. I can fearlessly boogie over this terrain with my Rancho Z71 All Terrain without worry of kicking sideways. I do have much larger and heavier 10ply tires which probably help a lot over the stock SRA's but my truck doesn't bounce like many of you are reporting. I would assume your US roads are 5x better than our crap roads (trails).

Eibach is good also.  Pro-Comp SS etc...…

I prefer a more decreased pressure.  

Problem is I lost at least maybe 1-2 mpg's but the slightly softer feel was a good tradeoff.

But the icing on the cake for me were the Bilstein 5100s.

Last spring when I had my new Bridgestone tires installed, the shop had them aired up to 42lbs upon delivery.

With the 5100s the truck still soaked up the major road imperfections, i.e. potholes , railroad tracks and no more skipping around in washboard sections.

Speed bumps became a thing of the past as well and No more bobblehead action just pulling out of my driveway.

To this day I like to stick with about 36-38 psi as it is about the best of both worlds. Better MPGs and a Better feel than 40-42 psi

Before the Bilsteins any pothole large or small dealt me a bone jarring seat of the pants feel with the Ranchos. More so in the rear of the truck.

Same 36-38psi

Hi Dan! First time user and find your posts extremely informative! I have a brand new 2019 Silverado LT with the BFG KO2's and have been noticing my rear end bouncing like a pogo stick, which is why I'm here. When you installed the Bilstein 5100's, did you do all 4 our just the rear or front? My main issue is the rear end. It bounces like crazy, even on paved roads (albeit bumpy roads). Thanks for your input!

Did you grab some Eibachs? The only one I found is P/C E60-23-005-05-01- Pro-truck Shock for $94 on Amazon. No reviews for this for a 2019 Silverado LT 4x4 Crew Cab. I've read awesome reviews about the Bilsteins, but nothing on this one. Your experience?

For clarity, I have a 2016... but no, I have not had a chance to get them yet, sorry I can’t give you a report yet...probably in the next few months, had some unexpected expenses come up I’m managing...

Yep... adulting sucks! Haha!  I think for rears they seem pretty dang similar...

the two biggest differences that I have (researched) seem to be American made vs Oversees and functionally the Eibacks have a true 2” lift in the front and the Bilstiens have 1.85” (or 1.75”) ...but I’d love to hear your report when you have a chance...

I just pick up a 2017 Silverado Z71 and I’m having the same problem. Took it back to the dealership and they said it might be air pressure since it was at 47. Too high can make it too bouncy. So they brought it down to 35. Still having the problem. Are you still having the problem or did you get it fixed? If so, how? Please let me know because it’s bugging the ****** out of me.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
