This is the off-road shock that will change your ride. The 5100 series Bilstein shock is designed specifically for your lifted Chevy 2500HD or 3500HD. The 5100 series features Bilstein's superior single tube high gas pressure for optimal ride characteristics and performance.
Bilstein is known worldwide for quality and you can feel it the moment you drive your Chevy Silverado 2500HD/3500 after they are installed. The monotube design is constructed to offer superior damping abilities that make 5100 Bilstein an exceptional choice for on or off-road situations.
Have these on my truck for 10 years now. Originally was having issues when towing. These fixed the bouncy feeling I was getting. They have a little surface rust now but still are working good. These are my first set of Bilstein's and will use them again. Truck is a 2002 Silverado 2500HD ext cab 4x4.
I ordered the bilstein shocks based on good reviews from duramax forums. They are a very nice looking well built shock. I've had them on for a while now and the finish is still holding up on them with no problem. The shocks did smooth out my ride, but on a 3/4 ton truck, don't expect it to ride like a Cadillac. I also purchased the steering stabilizer. That helped quite a bit. Prior to the install, the steering wheel would jerk around when you'd hit a pothole or a rut on a trail
