Compared to our Fox 2.0 shocks, the tuning in the Bilstein 5100 shocks is a bit more firm, but not so firm as to make the ride quality stiffer than OEM suspension.
If you like a less floaty more planted sports-car feel, or have some weight added to the truck especially with a high center of gravity, these shocks are a great option!
Come with shock boots installed, so they work well in corrosive environments.
These are standard non-custom Bilstein 5100 shocks, chosen specifically to function proper with our coil spring designs.
*The length of the BIL-24-455 and BIL-24-464 rear shocks works well with up to a 1.5" tall rear coil spacer, with both our coils, or the OEM coils.
*If you have OEM factory rear air-bag suspension, you can use the BIL-24-455 shocks ONLY IF you install a 1" to 2" rear airbag spacer/lift kit. We do not sell anything like this you'd have to source elsewhere. The BIL-24-455 shocks will be too long otherwise and you could risk airbag damage, if you don't use a spacer/lift under the OEM rear airbags with these shocks.
I had the Thuren fox shocks on my truck for almost 8 years and 80k miles. I needed some new shocks fast and went with the Bilstine’s. I am very happy. Fast shipping and comfortable ride!

Front coils and shocks
I haven't had much time on them as it is not my daily driver. Coupled with the springs the harshness is gone out of the front end. By no means is it a Cadillac, but it's a much nicer ride.

Replaced factory coils and shocks was the best thing to do better ride and more level . Now need to raise the back a little has factory air bags do they make leveling kit for back ? But great product you sell major improvement thanks 5 star !!!
