Bilstein Shocks
I would first like to thank all the contributors for sharing their great ideas and knowledge and the moderators for such a well organized forum. I joined the forum about two weeks ago and became a supporter a few days ago. Where else could I find this kind of information for 20 bucks. I am sure i will re-up when the time comes.
My question is concerning Bilstein shocks. Who out there has them and what do you think.

Thanks jrciii56. I have a feeling the stock shocks on my truck were made by Bilstein and they have held up for just over 94k miles. I would have changed them sooner but they don't leak and seem to control suspension rebound ok. I did notice that on washboard roads my truck wants to swap ends. Time for new ones. Ranchos are to pricey for what you get.

I have them on my '02 F250 CC, Lariat - can only compare them to the original stock shocks. I thought enough about them that I put a set on the wife's truck - '99 GMC Yukon. So, I guess I'm a supporter of Bilstein shocks. Do not think you can go wrong with them.

Orezona-
Shockwarehouse.com price for 4 Bilstein BST HEAVY DUTY with free shipping is $263.80. If you are recommending eshocks.com based on service and not just price I will go with them.

I'd say it's just on price. I haven't had to deal with them since purchase. They did say I'd have to return a broken/warn out shock for replacement. I'd have to call to verify the whole deal.
Edit: I also went to AutoZone because of the simplicity of warranty claims as posted previously. But the price was soo different I decided to risk it. I think $20 some dollars each shock was about it.
