Should have put these on a long time ago, fits no problem, and rides smoother than it has ever rode since the truck was new, highly recommend

I bought Rancho shocks and after less than a week they were already rusted and the ride sucked so I returned them. I had Bilstein on the front and was happy with them so I ordered them for the rear. They are definitely a superior shock! Lesson learned. Don’t try to save a buck when it comes to your shocks.

These are great shocks for the money, they ride really good on my 3/4 ton GMC. The rubber boots come with small plastic zip-tie which i cut off and replaced with larger zip ties on each end of the rubber boot and also stretched the boot 2 inch before i tightened the zip tie to prevent early boot cracking from being over compressed.These shock are also 1.5-2 inches longer than stock GM shocks

Easy to install, feels like higher quality than the stock shocks. 2 of the 4 originals on my 2010 Silverado 2500hd were broken. Nice ride now.

The 5100 series shocks are very good shocks without going high end in price. They ride much better than brand new stock shocks even. The installation is very straight forward, comes with instructions and fits without any issues. Upgrade your ride comfort with these shocks, specially if you’re do to replace your factory ones.

Waited to write a review, I’ve put about 20k of hard use on the shocks. ‘07 GMC Sierra 3500 Classic SLT crew cab dually long box diesel. Stock rear height, torsion bars turned up, slightly bigger than stock tires. The truck is used for auto transport and have no complaints on the shocks. Ran Bilstein’s on my Saab 9-5 and have a Bilstein/air bag setup on my Audi wagon and those shocks have been amazing so I decided to try these for my work truck. Due to “Betty’s” basically stock height the shocks were a pain in the butt to compress but they went into place with some persuasion. All shocks were installed in the driveway, no hoist. Betty spends all day, 5-6 days a week, pulling a 5k lb trailer with 2 vehicles on it on our awful Wisconsin highways and the ride is so much better than the Rancho’s that got tossed out. I’m happy with them and hope they last a long time.

Hey guys. I have a 2008 GMC Sierra 2500 Duramax that I just installed these 5100's on. 2 years ago I replaced my shocks with heavy duty Napa shocks. 3 out of the 4 have failed since. I am no mechanic but, once I installed these Bilstein shocks, my truck drives like a car (not really, just way smoother). I have read a lot of reviews about these and they are as described so far. They are sturdy and took me about an hour to replace all 4. I have only had them on the truck for a week so I will let you know if anything gets better or worse.

Bilstein 5100s are probably the best buy shocks for the average consumer. The front shocks made a night and day difference from the stock ones. You should know that changing the rear shocks on your truck won't make as huge an impact as changing the front ones do though. What's a quick test to see if your front shocks need to be replaced? Go over a speed bump. If your vehicle rocks left and right somewhat violently as you go over, it's time for new shocks.Shocks are one of the most simple tasks to do on a truck. You don't even need to jack up the truck if you have enough room to slide underneath. For a 2006 Silverado, you'll need two ratchets. One ratchet to hold the bolt head and one ratchet to unscrew the nut off the bolt. Take the bottom and top bolt off (2 bolts total) and pull the shock out. Replace with the new shock and put grease or anti seize on your bolts you took off. Put the bolts back on and tighten with your ratchet until it's snug. You can also tighten with a torque wrench set for the appropriate setting for your vehicle (probably 60+ ftlbs without anti seize, less ftlbs with anti seize). DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.So reminder. Use anti seize on the bolts and do not over tighten the bolts. If your bolts are severely corroded and you need new ones, your best bet is to go to a specialty fastener store that mostly just sells bolts, nuts, etc. Vehicles usually use a certain grade steel (10.9) and size (usually metric such as m14) for the bolts that you may not be able to get at Home Depot/Lowes/Auto parts store. Your other option is trying the dealership for the bolts.

I installed these myself in my Silverado. The install is insanely easy. Two bolts is all you need.The ride is amazing. It felt like the truck was floating. Obviously the 12 year old stockers were past their prime but these were a great add. It has changed the truck.Good product. Quick shipping. Good buy.

I installed these on a 2002 2WD Silverado with 2" lift blocks on the rear. I can echo what others have written about the quality of ride. These provide a smooth feel for driving through cities with holes and cracks in the road. I actually mixed the following for a front and rear setup. For a data point for anyone looking for sizes on a 2WD Chevy, I have:Bilstein 24029025 Front -- I have a 3" lift spindle on the front with no spacers; this is basically a stock setup as the spindles do not change the stock anglesBilstein 24186742 Rear -- The 2" lift blocks on a 2WD put it right in the range for these, which is similar to the stock 4WD dimensions.Definitely worth the money.

Direct bolt on replacement for my original shocks that were really shot after 130,000 miles. Considered the OEM Bilsteins but these got such great reviews that it really swayed my decision. These are very expensive but it was worth every penny. Initially felt slightly stiff but either I'm getting used to them or they are loosening up slightly. These really restored my ride quality. I've hit some potholes hard that I couldn't dodge and these really do a wonderful job dampening. General highway driving I would say that the ride was firm but not harsh. Going into bends these help keep the truck level. Braking dive changed drastically for the better. Overall money well spent. Even the guys at the local garage had a good time making fun of them. "Hey look at the truck with the chrome bilsteins!" Although they are actually a brushed aluminum housing they do look good. Thanks Amazon!
