Review on 🚗 Bilstein 2-Inch Lift Front Shock for Ford F250/350 (Part #33-187297) by Fred Whitehead

Hi guys, first I want to say that they were shipped and delivered VERY quickly. Didn't expect that from FREE shipping lol. Not only the packaging of them was on the key. They also put a box inside to fill the space (see picture). Well the product turned out to be 2 times better than my previous shock. I don't know what brand they are because they came with the truck when I bought it used. Now let's talk about what the shock was mounted on so you have a good idea of if it will fit you. I have an old 2004 Ford F350 with 4WD and a front leveling kit. Most alignment kits average 0.5 to 2 inches from what I said. I think mine is closer to the 2 inch range. I also have 35" MT tires on my truck (see picture). Also included are photos of the old shock installed so you can get an idea of what I have. No springs, just sheet metal. When I took the old ones off I put the new ones next to them and they are VERY similar in size if not the same size/setup. Now the installation was quite easy and painless. NOW THINK at the front, YOUR DUST/SUITCASE GOES DOWN! Most people think it's going to be UP, but on this beat, when it goes forward, it goes DOWN! If you buy the 5100 series for the back (under the bed) 24-186025 the dust cover / trunk will lift! I've found that the easiest way to install is to attach the bottom of the shock first, insert the bolt and hand tighten the nut. From there, grab both hands, get well under the wing, and push down with both hands until you pinch it AT THE TOP damper. That way you have time to step back and lead him in until he gets squeezed. I had no problems installing them. Actually from start to finish (taking the big, heavy 35" wheels/tires off them, removing the old shocks, putting the new ones on and putting the tires back on. I did it in about 1 hour. Now here we are drove it last night and it felt like you should understand that I have a F350 (1 ton) 4 wheel drive there's really nothing smooth about these heavy trucks especially when you lift them up a bit and big 35" MT Put tires on it A bit of a bumpy ride with the truck at first, it really helped some, I'm sure you'll enjoy more Bilstein quality driving on a smaller truck, folks, I hope this got you on the right track .As for me, I love the price here from this seller (cheapest I've found anywhere) and got free shipping!The quality of the shock absorbers seems very very very good and almost should Being 2x heavier than my old shocks that I took off lol. I hope f The pictures I uploaded appear (5 photos) in this review.
