Title: Best shocks
Post by: jdb on October 14, 2015, 09:46:26 AM: I need new shocks on my pickup and want the best. Bilstien is what I'm thinking but does anyone have an alternative? Am I paying for name and there are cheaper options?

I do run bilstein 5100s on my duramax.....but it's a pavement princess.

If you enjoy playing with suspension settings those 3 all offer adjustable versions but the price reflects it.

I'm curious which vehicle as well. They are not all equal.

Post by: CARiD on November 20, 2015, 06:47:12 AM: I can also confirm that Bilstein shocks are the best, one of our best selling products. Their 5100 Series Steering Dampers are designed specifically to help you maintain complete command of your truck, van or SUV at all times. A 5100 Series Steering Damper is essential when upgrading to larger wheels and tires to ensure proper steering control. Also they are covered with a lifetime warranty. http://www.carid.com/bilstein/
