The yellow and chrome sets are pretty much the same. Chrome ones are for lifted trucks, so you'll need the yellow if yours is still the stock height. Try Eshocks.com, that's where I picked up mine.

Ron -
I have the 5100's here in Indiana - Awesome shock, but the bodies hate the salt. I just read where they claim they will clean up with scotchbrite pad.
That seemed like a pretty good price though for the yellow's.

I am not seeing anything about shocks for a leveling kit. All I see are stock suspension and lifted (4"+)
Off the website I am seeing F4-BE5-2815-HO for fronts and 2816s for rears. Am I in the wrong place???

Here is a link for the best prices I've found for the Bilstein shocks.
http://www.shockwarehouse.com/site/p...350-Superdutys
Personally, it doesn't matter one whit to me, what color the tubes & covers are, as long as the shock itself is effective! And, Bilstein shocks are the best I've ever had on every truck I've owned.
