ordered my Bilstein 5100's
 
I hope I am satisfied for how expensive they are. Hopefully they will dampen the ruteed washboarded dirt mountain roads near me so i can get the power to the ground.

let me know how they do...i need new shocks but idk what to get.

ZombieSoldier 08-12-2011 08:33 AM

well i kept going back and forth on shocks, and these kept getting recommended, actually the yellow ones did, but they aren't available for a super duty with the 2.5" leveling kit. the only ones that are from Bilstein is the 5100.

when i get home in a few weeks and install them i will surely give you a write up of them.

How much did you pay? I think mine are 5125s sand they were not any more expensive then other shocks.

thanks man. ive really be on the fence about what shocks to do. plus ur drivin sounds similar to mine (rough dirt road/crappy back roads)

$265 from a shop on ebay. sent him a message asking him to verify the correct part numbers, since if i bought them i wouldnt be able to send them back for a while and he gave me a military discount

That's a good price. I think I paid around $350 for my set

ZombieSoldier 08-12-2011 06:06 PM

I really like mine, They were noticeably smoother.

I go through Top Gun Customz in TN for suspension questions and parts. I've been using them for years and they've never done me wrong. They ask what I use the truck for before selling me shocks and such. If you don't NEED an expensive set of shocks, they won't try to sell them to you...unless you really want them. I was expecting $200-250 for my last set, and I spent $135, and a nice ride to go with them.
