🚗 Bilstein 24-186988 Shock Absorber: Ultimate SEO-Friendly Suspension Component Review

This is a great product. If you are installing with a 6" lift I would suggest you use the top settings as mine have leveled off after a few days and I need to increase them. They look great and the truck drives fantastic!

Wrong installation of these shock absorbers. My shocks have been replaced once and the lower spring seat is welded on so I can't transfer it to the new shocks. I can't buy a lower spring seat.

My 2006 Dodge Ram 4x4 had new front height adjustable stays installed (raised the front 1-2 inches without shims) and 90,000 rear Holsteins. The car drives much better than new!

I need to replace my driveshafts with one that can handle the increased angle at which the shocks push everything up. But the good news is that I don't have any vibration in…

09/10/19 Installing the shock itself is not too difficult. Made 3 trips to the auto parts store for the tool rental and a total of 14 hours after all was said and done. Be sure to ask a friend for help. It is incredibly difficult to remove the bottom bolts on a standard shock as they not only stick, they almost stick to the rubber bushing. Spray everything down with a PB blaster or similar the night before. Be careful when compressing the coil to install on the new Blistein 5100 shock. It…
