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.

      2021 suburban RST - acting up/lights flickering

      By 520Zilla · Posted

      Hi all,   I just bought a 2021 suburban RST with 88,000 miles on it and everything has been good but I’ve been noticing within the last month or so that there are small electrical things going on and I know what the AGM batteries and all the electric electrical in these big trucks you need to have a constant flow with good voltage   That being said, I bought a new battery thinking that that might have something to do with it but today I went to get in and start it and it said no key found when I had the key right in my pocket   It also proceeded to flash the lights inside and outside for over 30 minutes as I went to disconnect the battery as soon as I touch the negative terminal, I heard the relay reset and everything come back up. I got in the truck and started it no problem.   Anyone else have this happen to them? I’m starting to think it’s the KARR system that the dealer installed short circuit stuff.

      “Service Emission System” & “175 miles until “65 MPH Max Speed”

      By ManyCamaroz · Posted

      I don't drive this truck on a regular basis since I have a new company truck with no out of pocket fuel or maintenance cost. Yesterday I got it out to run some errands and got the title message on my DCI. A quick Google search suggested to first clean the Map Sensor. I pulled it out and it was sooty so cleaned it up and reinstalled it. Issue not resolved. My OBDII is a couple years old so didn't see any codes. Today I took it to a friend at AutoZone to get him to check it with his reader. It had the following codes: P20C3 P02BB P221F Stating the most likely solution is to replace diesel emission fluid (DEF) tank assembly.   So, I guess a trip to the dealer is necessary. I read where there was a backorder on these tank assemblies several years ago so hope that has been resolved.

      Do you keep your tires at full capacity? 80psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.    And of course your tires carry more weight for a given tire pressure due to their size vs a stock sized tire so there is that to take into the equation as well.

      Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By Z45 · Posted

      I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.
