Supposedly these are Blistien shocks but I thought they didnt make them for our trucks

Ebay….hmmmm

 

Look at how they mount...will not work on the back of a truck for sure. Need a threaded post on top (stem mount) and eyelet for the bottom on the rear and threaded post top and bottom for the front (of F250 4wd anyway). Top threaded and lower eyelet (?) on a 1/2 ton 4wd? Correct?

Yea its always the fine print that gets me. So why not just post a pic of the actual shock? Because we all know some people hunt parts by SITE....and then read the fine print....lol Thanks for the link. If I had only scrolled a little further DOWN in the above link, (damn that little wheel), I would of SEEN that statement.

 

shockware house in Florida,will hook you up for your truck

 

What part # you got on there? Looks like a 6" lift? And is that cross over/high steer set up I see? Along with High Boy front bumper brackets?

 

I've seen where someone is selling eye top shocks with an adapter to mount in the stud hole, but they usually mention that.

You could always swap the shock towers out for some later model f250/350 towers that use the eye mount on top. They're a direct bolt in swap, at least for 250/350s. It opens up shock options.

 

I bought Bilstein once for the Wife's Blazer since that what it had from the factory. Not sure if I would buy again, still rode like a row boat. But can't completely fault since that is what the General specified! Wow why anyone would have bought new after test drive.

 

Hey Rich its a 4" lift on a highboy,crossover steering,,,,5125 Bilstein series part # 33-230351 its a 1975,,,I have Bilstein in the rear as well,can get you a # for them as well,,,,,,I ran bilstein shocks for over a decade in my old dies



This is the same profile as our flat mount shock tab but the bridge is cut to fit 3.0" tube. By joining tabs together to make a bracket, the bridge between tabs makes the combination more than twice as strong as when used individually and it saves 15 minutes over single tabs every time. If you are a shop, you need every time saver you can get to decrease work backlog and keep making money, and so much better when it is stronger too. These make tab placement accurate, easy, and fast, period. These have a 1.5" inside mounting distance, are made from .25" (1/4) HRP&O Steel, and are sold in pairs.

• 1/4" thick
• 1/2" bolt hole
• 3" diameter tube
• 1 1/2" ID
• Sold in pairs
