Ok, thanks for the replies. Who is best to order from? I'd prefer to buy locally, but a quick internet check doesnt look promising.

 

Best I could find was SD Trucksprings. They had a 25 dollar coupon getting me to 318 shipped.

 

Looking at that webpage, I see there are different models, depending on lift. My truck is stock, so the correct part numbers would be:

• F4-BE5-C335-H0 - Front
• F4-BE5-C336-H0 - Rear

Just want to make I get the correct ones. the photo of the product for the fronts appears to be incorrect, it looks the same as the rear's.

EDIT: too late now, placed the order. I did cross-reference the part numbers to Bilsteins's webpage, so I should be good.

My expectations are high, looking forward to making the change.

 

Yep, you got the right ones.

 

Think im gonna order some bilstein 5100s when i get home. Anyone have any recommendations on source?

 

Like I said above, sdtrucksprings.com was the best deal I found. With their $25 off coupon it was $318 to my door.

 

Gonna order when i get home. Guessing i should get the 0-2 lift option as my truck is stock

 

also anyone know what bilstein to use to replace the oem steering dampner?

 

looking at the parts to order...why does it say 0-2" for the rear and 0-1" for the front? shouldnt they both be the same?

 

Looks like Bilstein, Innovation and High Quality Since 1873, but not sure it that is as neccessary as the shocks. Hadn't given it much thought actually. Maybe if my steering gets punky, but it's perfect now.

 

Rears here with 0 lift listed. Bilstein, Innovation and High Quality Since 1873

Fronts here with 0-2 listed. Bilstein, Innovation and High Quality Since 1873

 

Karl,

On the site you recommended for shocks. Somewhat conflicting details/specs to bilsteins site. just want to make sure i order the right ones. are the supposed to both be the 0-2" option for a stock truck? or is the front gonna vary from the rear? looks like 0-1 on the front and 0-2 for the rear. thanks

 

Just go with what's listed on Bilstein's site. Retailer detail sections are often sketchy. Go with the number's I gave you from Bilstein and order on SD Trucksprings. Don't worry about what SD's site says. It's like when I order on Amazon. Half the time the picture and description are way off. I go by the part number I find on the manufacturer's web site and have never gone wrong.

 

Looks like these are them... gonna order. Any advice on removal and install much appreciated

 

Yep, those are the ones. Don't forget to use the $25 off coupon. R&R is very easy. Big Sarge's video in the tech folder says it all. I took my front tires off to make things easy. The rears I did with the tires in place. Two bolts per shock. Plus your truck will be brand new, so everything will come right apart. On the rears, I used a small bottle jack to get the bottom bolt hole lined up. The Bilstein's had way to much rebound pressure for my arms to push up and get in place at the same time. It was one or the other, so the bottle jack made life easy.
