Can anyone help me with this I have two different places giving me different part numbers for rear shocks for a 2004 F250 6.0 4X4 CC. One says BE5-2819 and the other says BE5-C296. Which ones?

 

Looks like they gave you one for a 4WD and one for a 2WD (although that part number you gave first - BE5-2819 - does not match anything in the Bilstein catalogue for your year of truck)

The correct part numbers for your truck for rear are:

FORD F250/350 4WD REAR

Thanks, Sorry I left off the HO on the BE5-C296-HO

 

As long as it's not lifted, WWW is on top of it. Got 'em on mine.

 

Do these shocks really make a difference on a truck that has stiff suspension , mine has the junk fx4 shocks and the plow package x springs , Craig.

 

I have the 13,000 # GVWR package, dually, long bed. Rancho shocks should be buried on the ranch. Make sure you put in a new front steering stalizer. I put Billsteins on front and back as they do not make the front stabilizer. I used a MONROE. WORLD of difference. Like buying a pair of Nike shoes: JUST DO IT!

 

YES!!! The bilsteins have significantly more dampening ability than the stock ranchos that come on the FX4 package. I could compress the stock ranchos that came off my truck without much effort while the bilsteins I put on took significant effort to compress. IMO, the stock ranchos do not provide enough dampening force for the heavy duty suspension in the Super Duty truck. They are probably fine on an F150 but not a serious truck like the SD. With the bilsteins on, my truck still rides stiff (as it should for a 3/4 ton truck) but it handles uneven, rough pavement (railroad crossings, washboarded pavement, potholes) with much, much better response. The suspension rebound is practically eliminated and the truck feels much more in control with the bilsteins installed. Definitely worth the cost. You won't regret getting them.

 

I have this and recommend it very much

BTS Kit - New Bilstein BTS System for 2005 and later Ford F-250/F-350 4WD
Bilstein announces the release of their new BTS systems for 2005 and later Ford F-250/F-350 4WD Super Duty pickups. These new BTS systems include replacement front coil springs and two 5100 Series shocks. This system raises the front of the truck by 2.25", increases wheel travel and vastly improves overall handling characteristics.
Bilstein 5100 Series monotube gas pressure shocks are based on Bilstein's world famous, race inspired monotube gas pressure shock absorber technology. These shocks also feature high capacity digressive pistons and split valving specifically tuned for lifted truck applications. The result is better control and more precise handling, especially when combined with the matching rear 5100 Series shocks that are also available for Super Dutys.

Here is link with the 2819 listed.

On the Bilstein 'Light Truck, Vans, and Utility Vehicle Listings' PDF the C296-HO is listed for the the 250 and the 2819 is listed for the 350.

I got a deal on the 2819s and I will try them on my 250 4x4.
