Bilstein Shocks
 

Bilstein Shocks and Steering Damper.

Has anyone installed them recently? I put them on my Excursion to solve a bad wandering problem 10 years ago. I think I am ready at 86,000 miles for replacement on my Dodge and also some steering wander lately. I know many companies are not what they used to be these days with Globalization. Not looking for a off-roading overpriced custom set-up but just a good dependable shock. Tirerack has them for $67 each.

Can't go wrong with Bilsteins on these trucks.

I put 5160 Bilstein shocks and steering damper on my 2007.5, amazing difference.

Bilstein quality is still there. The best shock for the price.

x4, I have over 30 K on the Y&B's and still love them.

I have the silver shocks and stabilizer and I must say they are still excellent products!

I have to agree to all the above.

45k on my Yellow & blues and still feels great!

Are the Silver 5100 series for lifted trucks? Thats what it seemed like on the Bilstein w/s.

I was thinking of just going w/ the y/b's for the amount I really use the truck which is usually and unfortunately all winter. The front end gets allot of dipping when the plow is on.

The salt mongers love it.
:rolleyes:

Dude, I LOVE the Avatar!!!!!!!:cool:[guitar]

You can get the 5100's in stock length or +2 for if you have a leveling kit. I've had mine for 70k now and they're still good from what I can tell.

[laugh] Thanks! I changed it shortly after he was elected the first time and vowed to keep it until he is out of office!!

I put the 5100's on all 5 shock locations this spring, I have never been as impressed with a shock selection in 20 years of driving, and MANY different rigs/applications.

Yellow and Blues here also, loving them!

OP, you're good to go with Bilsteins.


Dragging off track for a second here but on the topic, does anyone mix the Yellow/Blues with the Silver/Blues? I have the S/Bs on the front with the leveling kit and the stock Dodge in the rears that need replacing. The Y/Bs seem like the proper shock choice over the S/Bs as I run around unloaded on the street all the time. But I feel it is a travesty to be unmatching and mix Y/Bs with S/Bs :conf: What should I do? Buy rear Y/Bs and some silver spray paint?
