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?

    • From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

    • True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel. 
    • I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
