Looking to put a leveling kit on my truck and was lookin for shocks to put on..really wanted to put on the bilsteins but when i called bilstein for a part number they say that they do not make a shock for the front for the 2in lift. So they told me to get a Truxx leveling kit that had a relocation bracket and get the stock size shocks from them. But I dont want to spend $300 on a leveling kit just b/c it has a relocation bracket. My question is what you all did for that on whether you got a relocation bracket or a different shock or what not. I hear everyone talking how good bilstein shocks are but if they dont have my size then it would be pointless.

 

well if you would have done a search you would find a few things .....
first you can by relocate brackets on e-bay ect for 40 bucks
second you can get any shock you want aslong as it is 2" longer than stock
or third.....buy the kit

 

bilstein shocks for a 2500 will fit a 1500 and are 2" longer. look it up if you dont believe me.

 

My kit came with the spacers and shocks. From fatbobsgarage, but I might go for the bilistien shocks as everyone says they are better than the procomp. The only problem I have with mine is that when I go over a nice sized bump or hole my shock bucket hits.

 

I just leveled mine today on the stock shocks no spacers or nothing and it doesnt ride bad at all. Actually rides like the 99 ford f350 i swapped out for my ram.

 

I have spacers but mine is the 06 with the struts up front I used the monroes as I was haveing a hell of a time finding any replacments had to order and kinda pricey but great ride now looks better and didnt need extra ish for the job.

 

Just ordered a set of stock bilsteins and got a leveling kit from fat bob..that kit came with the relocation brackets to get the stock shocks and didnt have so spend no $300 on a kit either. Thanks for all the help tho.

 

I am using ES9000s P/N EXP-919500 on mine.
