I am getting ready to put shocks on the truck anyone have any suggestions on which ones to use?

 

I've had my Bilstein 5100's sitting in my toolbox for over a month.
Finally got them installed today.

Price of Diesel being where it is, I won't have any reports if they are worth the price for a while.

The do come highly recommended though.

Best shock you can get for the money unless you want to spend $300 a pop for Kings or $425 for Fox......

I've recommended them to several folks that are very happy with them. Don't waste your money on twin tube shocks (basically, almost anything offered by the big off the shelf lift manufacturers, Rancho, Skyjunker, etc.).

 

I went with some Monroe Reflex shocks in all 4 corners, they are better than stock and I got them for $50 (for all 4, not each!) off of eBay.

 

i put bilstein 5100's on about a month ago.stock rear shocks were shot.very happy with them.74.00 each for all four from strano perf.parts

 

I've had the Bilstiens's now for about 5 months, I like them, but I didn't like the little rubber grommets for the front shocks, just my opinion.

 

Well

I have Rancho 9000's on my truck, they are ok I guess, But next time around im gonna get Bilsteins..... Fox and King shocks are a little outta my price range...

If you rely on having a highly adjustable shock, you will not be happy with 5100's......if you don't rely, need or care about having adjustable dampening rates, the 5100's are without a doubt the best bang for the buck......

I have 9000's, only because I need an adjustable shock.....I think if I were to buy shocks today, I would opt for the Pro Comp MX6's because they are a superior mono tube design as compared to Rancho's twin tube cellular shocks.....but they are even more expensive than than the 9000's.....you get what you pay for, I guess.
