Need shocks for my dually

[newbury]

This thread http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/trailers-transportation/161827-shocks-my-2005-dodge-3500-a.html seems to recommend Bilsteins.

Most of my mileage is interstate and half of that is pulling a loaded trailer, hardly any off road.

So are Bilsteins still the way to go?

I put them on my F250 about 5 years ago. Awesome shocks and still work like new. Best out there in my opinion.

Much better than the "Rancho" branded shocks from the factory.

Running them on a F-350 dually 4x4 dump truck. Meyers boss snow plow hanging on the front with 7.3 engine. Run the interstate pulling a trailer. Really pleased with them. Auto zone had them on sale when I purchased them,would buy again if not on sale.

I got KYB Monomax for my f250. They are much better than stock.

I had the Bilstiens on my 2004 dodge cummins diesel 2500 series.Little pricey but one of the best shocks out there IMHO.

Kind of bumping this thread for refinement before I apply the plastic. Is there much difference between the Bilstein 5100 Series Offroad Racing Shocks and the 4600's? Only about $10 difference in price.

And any recommended sites to order? The local Pep Boys/Advanced Auto etc. want $100 plus, online they are < $80.

/edit - no lift, standard height

Hi, I just installed the Bilstein 5100 front and rear on my 2014 Long horn Ecodiesel. Rides likes a big Buick now.. levelled the front end by 2" lift as well.

I have one friend who owns a garage who has told me that any customers that had KYB shocks installed have always said the same thing...much better than stock. They aren't common here because of the cost but they are good.

Maybe try Rock Auto .com . My last bilstein shocks came from Autozone and went under a 1996 4x4 diesel dually with snow plow. Must have had a ad,or sale price. Re did ball joints,tie rods,new locking hubs, u-joints, and shocks at the same time.

Thanks, been there done that. Checked again, only 1 front shock in the 4600 series and lifted for the 5100's.
