Need shocks for 2002 2500HD Duramax

Lyle,

If you're still shopping go to www.4wheelparts.com and key in your 2002 Chevrolet Duramax and it will narrow the exact shocks for front and rear. It will also ask for stock height or # of inch lift, if any.

All brands are on there; Rancho, Bilstein 5100s and 4600s, ProComp, Skyjacker, FabTech.

I replaced my Rancho shocks with Bilstein 5100s. I purchased from their site with no shipping cost. I put them on myself.

Rancho shock I pushed them down and they stayed down. I am a daily driver.

Tell me more about these cab mounts. I have checked Amazon and the reviews were favorable but indicated that the ride was a little rougher. If that's the case, why would I put them on a 2013?

Whoever said the mounts rode rougher is completely incorrect.

You have a 2013 so there's no need. They're for the MY10 and older rigs which is what the OP has.

You may want to update to the rear hydraulic cab mounts which became standard equipment somewhere around 2007, or 2008.

Did them on my 2003.
Took all the giggle you would get on expansion joints out of the truck.
Would almost shake like an out of balance tire on a certain section of interstate near the house.

I have the KYB shocks on the truck as I got all 4 at a super deal. They are much better than the stock ones.

KYB Monomax. Good price.

The upgraded cab mounts is huge shout. Put these on my previous 2009 2500HD. If the shocks helped the ride by 10% the cab mounts improved it by 40%. Massive difference and a cheap and easy-ish DIY.

OK. After checking, I'm going to go with the 5100's. Just to be sure, p/n for the front is 24-186735 and rear is 24-186742. '02 Sierra 2500HD 4x4 D'max, stock suspension/height.

Does any place do package pricing?

Have 5100s on my wife's GM since it was brand new- they are a very good shock.

I am curious why you are going with the 5100's on a stock truck?
