I looked all over and also could not find a place that sells them. Ended up going with the Rancho's, but I would still like to try the Bilsteins.

i too was in the same situation a couple months back. i did a lot of calling, searching, but ended up ordering from geno's - mind you, i did this when the dollar was much better than it is now. geno's has been great, they know what they are doing when they ship to canada, and i have ordered twice from them, both times without any extra charges upon package arrival.
the bilsteins are available locally, but (at the time) were going to be far more expensive than geno's was.

EBAY you can get them off there for cheap and shipping is not to bad. You can also get them NSOR(north shore off road) in BC. They have then but they have raised there prices due to the thought of a ression.

Call Sean down at www.lorenzindustries.com. He'll send up what you need at a reasonable price and they'll actually be the right part numbers for your truck. Might have to wait for shipping, but better than dealing with some of the yahoos up here that don't know their rearend from a hole in the ground. There are no dealers in Edmonton that know the part numbers for a 3rd gen. - everyone I spoke to when I was looking, called some warehouse in Vancouver - those folks still couldn't get the part numbers correct, nor did they have stock.

This I can speak from experience - I searched all over these parts as well for my 5100's. It was so nice to speak to Sean over the phone and get the skinny on a few things.

I just bought a Carli Starter kit and it came with Bilstien 5100 shocks. I bought it from Kevin at http://highrollerztrux.com/home/ He seemed nice and knowledgeable. They are from Alberta in Okotos. Always seem to get ahold of him and he responds back to e-mails! Good customer service in my books!
