I bought an 08 1500 4.7 and not sure if it is an ST SXT or SLT it does not say... I know it is recommend to change the shocks after 50,000 miles... (I have about 60k) and I would like to buy bilstein shocks... just not sure which ones... on a side note I am also putting a leveling kit on it... didn't know if that is going to be a factor in buying shocks... need opinions...

Look into monroe reflex.

 

If it's a 2WD then I think you want the Bilstein 4600s. You can also look into cheaper brands such as Monroe, Rancho, and Pro Comp. Pro Comp and Rancho shocks are made by the same company so if you choose those I would find the cheapest of either and gt those, neither one is better than the other

 

Just my opinion, I put Monroe reflex on my 05 last spring, 9 months ago. Im taking them out and replacing with Ranchos (old reliable). I feel the Reflexs are undervalved for the weight of the truck.

 

i just got a 08 4.7 with 60k too. no idea what it is either lol. does say big horn sports edition on the tailgate but i think the prev owner put those on there. since im getting it lifted soon im getting fox rear shocks and bilstein front struts. in the pix they are yellow with the bottom looking like a lil 2 prong fork

 

Wish I had that kind of money to afford Fox shocks lol

 

yea well i dont have the loot really either but im going to try and do things right the first time around. a lot of my old rides i always rushed into stuff then had to redue it again costing me double

 

Rancho shocks all the way around and got them 2” lomg then the stock shocks
