I’m trying to figure out the difference between Bilstein 5100s for my 2022 Silverado LTD Custom (My truck is a non-trailboss, normal ride height).


Does anyone know the difference between part # 24-309509 and 24-293297?


My goal is to get my truck to be at a trail boss ride height. 


thanks in advance!

It's compressed height.  The shocks are designed to be used on 0" lift to whatever height. 

 

The 24-293297 is designed to work for stock height regular trucks but can be set to add lift.  Collapsed length is 16.28".  The 24-309509 collapsed length (17.58") is taller to get to the stock front height of a Trail Boss/AT4, and then obviously lift on a TB/AT4.

Thanks @newdude

 

I ordered the 24-309509 the other day and just noticed this morning the other part number. So I should be ok installing these on the tallest setting to get my desired lift?

Update. This is what the folks at Shock Surplus just sent me. 
 

24-293297 is for the base models.

24-309509 is for only the Trail Boss.

 

I guess I’ll return the ones I bought and get the correct part #.

I set them to the highest position to get 3.1" total lift in the front.

 

Yea, I don't want to extend them up that far. I am looking to be right at ~2" all around. Trucks sits pretty level front to back now, but its just too low for most of the job sites I go on.

 

Shock Surplus is doing me a solid and exchanging the shocks out free of charge.

I used the 509 part # on my non AT4 truck and they worked fine, get extra lift out of them.


I have a '25 RST Duramax and could get my hands on a set of very cheap, almost new x509 (intended for the trail boss)

Looking for a 1.5" lift/level in the front - if I get these and install at the lowest setting (i.e. no lift), would I end up with 1.5 or 2" of lift?

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      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.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
