We have a 2004 F250 4 dr diesel with a 36 Ft fifth wheel. Would like to replace rear shocks and would like input for some HD shocks.

I just put a set of 4600's on this weekend and it's quite an improvement over the OEM. The truck recovers so much quicker than it did with the OEM shocks, even when they were new. But then again the shocks for the last generation of Rams were not world renowned for their operation lol.

After first road trip I replaced my OEM shocks with KYB monomax. I didn't tell wife I replaced shocks but on our next trip out she wanted to know what I did to truck because it rode so much nicer.

Don't sell yourself short. Replace the front as well.

Bills will easily last the life of the vehicle unlike a lot of others.

I'm on the same Bilstein bandwagon since installing them on my 2010 Sequoia.

GREAT shocks and struts!!! Extremely well engineered.

I put them on our F250 and they are excellent. The OEM shocks were shot after only 4 years. Put them on our previous F150 also. Would not drive a pickup without them now. One nice thing about them is their lifetime warranty which speaks to their quality. Install them as a set of 4.

Put them on my previous tow vehicle a 2000 F350 4x4 at 10,000 miles. They were still great after 72,000 more miles! OE shocks were shot already at 10,000. Traded in Aug. for the truck I have now, put Bilsteins on it right away, great shocks! IMO

I did the same as above. I highly recommend Bilsteins. This is after 40,000 plus miles later

I had Bilsteins on my '07 Chevy 3500 SRW. They were good.
I have KYB Monomax on my '05 Chevy dually, I like them even better.

I put Bilstien 5100 for non lifted truck on our 2001 ram 2500, WOW towing experience improved greatly. No issues with rough roads, or bridge transitions. I would strongly suggest replacing all four with Bil's.

Upon purchase in December 2011, drove Winnie back from Phoenix, Arizona. Had some rear end sway. Changed to Bilsteins immediately upon return. Some of the very best money I spent to get everything in order. Still have Winnie. Have now visited 23 states and over 20,000 miles and have more planned. Bilsteins came highly recommended and did not disappoint.
