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.

 

I have em, like em. My Father has em on his 99.5 F350 and likes them a lot "best shock I ever had" he hauls a lot of hay, horses and stuff in the mountains.

eshocks.com has a dang good price.

 

Thanks Orezona, I'll check eshocks.com. I am a transplant to Arizona from California. I guess I could call myself Calizona or Arizornia.

 

That's funny.

And you're welcome.

 

Havem and lovem. They are a great shock. A lot better than Rancho

 

! am on my 2nd set and they are great. (yellow ones) I buy at Auto Zone. They have a lifetime warranty and they keep me in the computer so its no hassel to get replacements. The set I replaced had 130,000 mi on em.

 

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.

 

Thanks OTTOMATIC. I'll check Aut Zone pricing. I like that lifetime warranty.

 

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.

 

Thanks for the input lHUD. No negatives so far on the Bilsteins. We"ll see what comes tomorrow.

 

Another happy Bilstein customer.

 

I'd be really surprised if find any local distributer that can come close to http://www.eshocks.com/bil_veh.asp?M...=All&SubChar=Q

$265.80 w/free shipping!

 

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.
