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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Looks nice. I still have my 2000, 1500. Bought a 2025, 1500 for retirement. Feels solid. These trucks have a bad rap on the internet. My brother has a `24 1500, 5.3 with 52,000 miles. No problems at all. Mine hasn`t either but mine`s only at 12,700 miles. Have seen some of these things with 100,000 miles with no problems.
