Review on 🚚 Ford Light Truck Shock Absorber - Bilstein 33028187, Enhancing Performance and Durability! by Jon Bishop

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fantastic shock! fits shock absorbers, struts and suspension

Absolutely amazing. I have a 2004 6.0 F250 FX4 and added this front shock along with a Bilstein 24-185981 4600 series rear shock. My truck had stock ranchos that were worn out so probably every bump would have made a big difference, but those shocks are awesome. Note that the front shock absorbers (Bilstein 33028187) must be installed upside down. I bought new tires and the store gave me shock absorbers. The bushings on the shocks would only fit upside down, and the front shocks would not turn upside down. I looked at the shocks on the Bilstein website with my iPhone and it clearly shows that the front shocks need to be reversed and states that if the label is right side up then the shock is installed correctly but if the label is upside down, then the shock is upside down. I showed the store this information and they decided to carry it and thanked me for showing them something new.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Loose
