Review on Bilstein 33-238319 Black Shock Absorber by Leon Johnsson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

THE BEST for my truck

2014 Chevy Silverado LTZ 4x4 Crew - I added rear assist springs for better payload, towing and lifting. Also added a 1" washer under the A-pillars for a 2" front end alignment. Michelin LTX AT2 tires (one size up, same width). alignment. I've been riding Rough Country N3 shocks for about six months. The rear always felt wobbly, jelly-like and bounced over bumps. Had a payload of 500 pounds (mud) and things got worse. Weary! I contacted Bilstein, told them about my issues and they recommended these shocks. If they put "load down" after their direction. Holy smoke, what a difference compared to the CRAP Rough Country N3 shocks. GOOD: - The immediate difference is the road contact/feel. The truck now feels "corrected" - No more judder, wobble and wobble - Smooth as European oil on the road. Absorbs the road like a shock absorber, "difficult" is perhaps the best word - zoom onto the tracks of the local railway (regulated route) at high speed. now she stays POSITIONED and doesn't bounce and bounce - didn't go off-road with them. So I can't talk about that, I've added a photo of their setup. In another picture, my truck (brown Silverado) is parked next to a white Sierra. Noticed the difference?
