Bilstein Shocks
I replaced my steering dampner with a 5100 and wow what a difference. I now want to replace my stock height shocks with 5100s all around, but I cannot find the part # for the front shocks, even on Bilsteins website. I believe the rears are 24-274968. What are the part numbers I need for front and back? Thanks!

Set up my account, waited about 20-30 minutes and got an email with a code for another $10 off. $327 shipped for all four. Took me about an hour to do in my driveway and didn't even have to remove a tire. Yes, they say the front is for a truck with mild lift, yes they say they won't work for with my Tremor package, yes they fit just fine and like said above, damn near the exact same length.

Thanks everyone! Hoping it takes some of the vibration/bounce out of the truck.

I ordered four new 4600 Bilsteins for my truck last fall. I replaced the back immediately, then got lazy and never did the fronts. I finally got up yesterday morning with the intentions of getting the tools back out, and replaced the front set. The rears made little difference. Might be totally in my head, but the fronts did make a noticeable low speed difference.
Someone needs to tell Bilsteins to amend their directions and show their customers the Allen head at the top.

No, the truck rode perfectly, but I find Bilsteins, or probably anything better than stock will clean up straight axle “small stuff” issues like uneven chatter on the sides of the front tires. .
Better quality shocks are always a useful upgrade, and it’s an easy DIY project that will improve ride..
