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.

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.

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

Advocate of getting the ban button used on him...
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.

There is no G. There is no G. Repeat after me, THERE IS NO G!
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
What should I do? Buy rear Y/Bs and some silver spray paint?
