my new bilstein shocks

[killerZ-71]

i had heard alot of guys on here talk about the bilstein hd shocks. well, i went to my 4x4 shop and had them put the bilstein heavy dutys on my truck, and they are incredible. my truck feels so much tighter and rides incredibley smooth. i am so impressed with these. they are not cheap, i paid $450.00 out the door installed. they come with a lifetime warranty for any defect.

I'm glad you like them, but that seems pretty steep for a set of bilsteins. You can buy them at either O'Reilly or Autozone (I forget which one) for about $260 if I'm not mistaken. That's not installed price, but c'mon, installation can't cost that much. Is your truck lifted at all?

I hear ya killerZ-71! I put my Bilstein's on a couple of weeks ago and they're awesome! Ride is smooth and solid. I was originally going to get the Edelbrocks, but after all of the feedback that I picked up here, I decided to go with the Bilsteins and I couldn't be happier.

$450

 

Mine were $49.99 each plus shipping. Easy DIY installation too

you guys are probably right, i probably paid a a little to much. but i really like the 4x4 shop i go to. the guys treat me great and do super install on anything i want. i am not super mechanically inclined, and sometimes i can screw stuff up. so i am willing to pay a little more and have everything done really well. i really like these shocks

Model numbers for the shocks, guys? Others reading would probably love to know.

I wonder if it would be the same part numbers for a 2005?

Glad those who just switched are happy with them. They've definitely served me well. Those and the Revo's when the Firestone guy pointed me toward them when they first came out and hadn't gotten the reviews yet.
