Review on ๐Ÿš— Bilstein 24 186742 5100 Shock Absorber: Unparalleled Performance and Smooth Ride by Michael Thaxton

Revainrating 1 out of 5

TOO HEAVY! to shocks, struts and suspension

I had good experience using Bilstein shocks on an older Chevy truck many years ago. They're too stiff on a 2006 half-ton Chevy. I checked the part numbers four times to make sure I have the right ones. I called Bilstein to see if they have satisfaction guarantees and they just said no. I had to reset the stock shocks to sell the truck because it ran horribly. It was a full truck, so there weren't any other variables to contend with. I had to choose a rancho that could be regulated. These Bilsteins are better suited to a much heavier truck.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
