Well now that i know i have tutition of next semester paid for i can afford new shocks finall and put my lift on, since the springs ahve been sitting in my room for over a month. anyway i reallly want a set of bilsteins i found these is this a good deal?

im gonna check with some of the in town dealers through work, but this looks like what i need/want at a reasonable price

 

No it's not that great a deal.

 

yeah thats what i was thinking. cant find much of a better deal

 

should i go with HD bilstein or just the regular bilstein shocks?

 

If it was me I would go with the 5100 series. But I have no experience with the bilensteins. Have you tried looking at shockwharehouse. They usually have pretty good deals. I looked it up it's about 240 out the door........ Wait a sec I take it back that e-bay deal isn't bad. Shock wharehouse is 320 for the 5100 series and 240 for the hd

 

If you nust have blisteins, I'd go with the 5100 series, but theirs lots of other choices out there too.

I personally run Edelbrock IAS performers and like them a lot (just the standard red and white ones, not the silver with the extra reservoir). Really reduced the body roll, with my crappy tires. Truck handles much closer to a car now on some of the steeper highway banks we have on the roads here in Texas.

Rancho has a relatively new 9000XL's thatare really, really, beefy and the ride quality is adjustable by 7 or so different levels.

 

ive looked at other shocks, i just really like the Bilsteins, im a sucker for name brand, even if there is slightly lower quality with a lot better price. but ive never heard anything bad about bilsteins except when it comes to price. and it seems i always see the edelbrock and rancho shcoks on FORDS! and id prefer not to have anything in common with a ford, i knows it sounds retarded im just really biased. haha, but i think i will go with the ones on ebay if i can get to my account!

apparantly ebay has suspeneded my account? i ahvent been active in TWO YEARS!!

and anything has to be better than stock, and yeah the Texas roads can be bad esp here in West Texas apparantly they dont know how to pave roads in Lubbock
