Review on ๐Ÿš— Bilstein 5100 Series Front Shock Absorber (24-186735): Superior Performance for Optimal Ride Quality by Bryan Fields

Revainrating 5 out of 5

'07 GMC 3500 Classic Dually

While waiting to write a review I spent about 20,000 hard on shock absorbers. '07 GMC Sierra 3500 Classic SLT with double cab and double lengthened diesel engine. Rear shank height, raised torsion bars, slightly more regular rubber. The truck is used for motor transport and there are no complaints about shock absorbers. I ran Bilstein on my Saab 9-5 and put a Bilstein/airbag on my Audi van and these shocks were amazing so I decided to try them on my work truck. Since the Betty was basically stock height, the shocks were hard to compress, but they engaged with some conviction. All shock absorbers were installed on the driveway, no elevator. Betty spends all day, 5-6 days a week, towing a 5,000 pound trailer with two cars on our horrible Wisconsin roads, and the ride is a lot better than a discarded ranch. I'm happy with them and hope they last a long time.
