question about shocks

[barko4]

I have to get new shocks soon and I heard the bilstein 51 hundred's are good however I don't find anything for my truck thats for the 5100's, only the "heavy duty". My truck is not lifted. Can one of yall help me out...

IMHO, save your money, look at the Monroe Reflex. It's a very good HD Lifetime Gas shock that is 1/3 the price. I got 4 shocks and the steering stabilizer from Amazon for @$150

I agree with NoRalPh, before i lifted my truck i installed Monroe shocks. I really dont remember exactly which ones i got but they were the nitrogen filled shocks. I loved them... made for a really smooth ride. only reason i went with Bilstein 5100 is because of the lift. couldnt find the monroe's in the length i needed. If i remember correctly i paid around $40 to $50ea for the monroe, maybe even a little less. The Bilstein cost $83ea. Not saying the Bilstein 5100s arent good.. because they are ... for a lifted truck with oversized tires, but the Monroe's work great for a stock setup. Just my opinion
