i have a 2002 z71 silverado that is stock height and need to replace the bilsteins it came with from the factory.
i am not looking to buy new bilsteins from the dealer because they are over $200.00 a piece even with my good guy deal i can get.....so i am looking for a good aftermarket replacement to suit a truck that is used for the kind of stuff we all do with our trucks. i do a little towing and plan to probably be doing a little more in the future, it is useed mildly off road, it is not a wheelin rig but it is my hunting and fishing rig.
anybody had good luck with a truck shock?

1500 5.3?

I would gladly use this information as well if possible. Mine are being replaced when I put new tires on.
-
I think i will go with KYB mono-max's.
anyone with experience with these?
-
Ranchos, the heaviest you can afford. Absolutely love them on my 4x4s.
-
:yeah:
I had some installed on an old 77 Suburban I used to own. They were awesome shocks and didn't cost an arm and a leg.
-
Try Summitracing on the web. Pretty decent prices on alot of different brands. Good service too.
-
If you had bilsteins and you liked them...replace them. Bilstein makes great shocks.
Hop on to summit as recommended (or use your google-fu) and find them there...you'll save over the dealer.
Otherwise, I'll throw in another vote for rancho's...RS9000 preferably. Good and tough.

KYB makes great shocks and if I was look at shocks any where around 200 I would go with Fox, King, Sway a way, ect :twocents: I have never liked bilstens shock unless they where there higher end shocks coil over one :dunno:.
-
Another vote for 9000's.

I put an upper end Monroe on my F-150 and it actually rides better than stock.

and it actually rides better than stock.
thats kinda what i'm hoping for.

I've gotten good performance out of the Ranchos I put on my Tundra. Wouldn't hesitate to use em again. My buddy runs em on his f150 and likes em. Can't say that I know enough to really give you a solid recommendation though.

Rancho's on my F-250 rides pretty darn good for a 3/4 ton.
