Can someone here confirm exact Bilstein part #s for 2004 F250 4WD?

[Tungsten]

Apologies if this belongs in the suspension section but it seems to me that my request is fairly specific to this year model truck so I thought I'd check in the 6.0L PSD forum first.

I have a 2004 F250 SuperCrew 4WD. I am looking to replace the Rancho shocks as soon as possible (they SUCK) and want to use Bilsteins. I've found conflicting recommendations for the part #s to use here in this forum.

Bilstein's online part finder recommends:

• BE5-C296-H0 (rear)
• BE5-2818-H0 (front)

But I have seen other people here state that you should use:

• BE5-2819-H0 (rear)
• BE5-2818-H0 (front)

Which of these two is correct?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, that is the site that I will use when I order... just wasn't exactly sure on the part numbers since I had read conflicting reports here. Thanks.

I bought mine there & they had a deal of free shipping for any amount over $250.

Good luck!

Ordered my shocks from eshocks.com on Tuesday (4/22) and received them Thursday (4/24). Talk about your fast shipping! Installed them on the truck last night and the improvement in ride quality is extremely noticeable, as it should have been with the Bilsteins.

For the record, I used the following part numbers:

• BE5-C296-H0 (rear)
• BE5-2818-H0 (front)

Again, my truck is a 2004 F250 Super Crew 4WD with the 6.0L Diesel. These part numbers were a direct bolt-in replacement.
