So, just left 4 wheel parts and I am trying to figure out what Bilstein shocks to go with. I have already tried a few coilovers and didn't like the stiff ride. The shop guy recommends the 6112 for the best on-road and softest ride with my 35" tires, but I am curious what the difference would be going with the 5100 and stock spring? NOt sure it would be worth the extra $400 for the 6112s. I have a Fabtech 6" lift on a 2017 Silverado 1500.

  I have no direct experience, but everything I have seen indicates Silverado and Sierra bed geometry is identical.

- 2024 Silverado HD shell on a GMC fitment??
  
  By cseaman · Posted 1 hour ago
  
  Has anyone had any luck swapping a Leer or equivalent shell between the current gen GMC/Chevy HDs? Hopefully specific to the standard 6'9" bed. I had an Overland Vehicle Systems shell on my 1500 AT4 and I know those fit the Sierra and Silverado, with or without the Multi-Pro tailgate. That said, I think the Leer shells are made to fit all the way over the bed caps as opposed to on them with some room to spare like OVS. Some 1500 owners reported some change in coverage over the rear tail lights..but that's 1500 specific.
