Just curious, I haven't seen a part number from them yet.

Yes

On a 350 and a 450. Al I can say is, do it! I have been putting Bilsteins on all my SDs since 05. The only way to go.

I have them on my 2012 350 and what a difference in ride from the OEM's!! I changed them out with less than 3500 miles on my truck. And reasonably priced compared to the racing shocks that are out there.

Do you have the 2017 part numbers front and rear? As I said, I'm having a hard time finding the number. Could it be because of the different rear ends between the 250 and 350?

I agree, they tow great! My Ranchos were just horrible. The Bilsteins cured my bump steer issues immediately.

Sorry about all this, I just called Bilstein and they will have shocks available by the end of summer according to one of their reps. He said they are in the works.

I've been watching/looking for the 4600's at shockwarehouse.com and eshocks.com periodically and theres nothing yet.

I had the lifetime warranty 4600's (yellow w/ blue boot) on my 2004 and MAN what a difference (over the fake fx4 rancho's).

Talk about a timely topic.....I ordered 5100's a few days ago. Haven't seen them yet, delivery due tomorrow.
Ebay seller had them at $322.99 shipped so I bought there.
