Shock recommendations please

Forum member needs recommendation for new shocks on a 2001 Chevy 2500 HD 4x4 8.1L/Allison
  • Bilstein 5100 (gray/black) for a softer ride
    Bilstein 4600 (blue/yellow) for heavy towing

    Either one should outlive the truck.
  • Try this: www.shockwarehouse.com Decent prices. L:Bove my Bilsteins
  • I agree with everyone else, Bilstein's work for me (Blue and Yellow) Shock Warehouse in Florida is where mine came from. About $80 each, if I remember correctly.

    Is there an online resource that sells Bilsteins for an HD 2500 GMC , cheap ?


    Sorry, cheap and quality don't go together. Bilstien's will run about $75 to $85 each, well worth the cost!
  • I installed KYB Monomax this year and so far like them a lot. It was a close decision between KYB and Bilstein.
