Bilstein 33-238319 Black Shock Absorber Review

I got these to replace my stock shocks as recommended for a 50,000 mile service. Just bought the front carrier. While I didn't immediately notice leaks or issues with my OEM shocks, the difference with Bilstein compared to OEM's is INCREDIBLE! They're much smoother, less bouncing and the trucks feel a lot safer on the road. Make sure you take the time, get proper training and have all the necessary tools and safety equipment like jack stands if you plan on doing this job yourself. Once prepped…

Purchased to replace the stock shocks on my 2016 Silverado LT 2WD with 70,000 miles. I noticed that the truck "floated" a bit and hoped that would help.

Adjusted the height of the truck with the jack so that the Bilsteins fall back down and attach to the lower bracket with no effort. After inserting the studs, cut the straps…

Adding at least 1 3/4 headroom and leveling the front makes the rear feel very secure and calm. Got my new 2017 Silverado. On the 65K, the rear shocks failed and started leaking. When the front sloped lower than the back, it was not easy to live. After purchasing 2 sets of front and rear Bilstein shocks which were the best upgrade modification ever made on the internet and after consulting some alignment experts I found this brand to be the best specifically for the front alignment, the extra…

2014 Chevy Silverado LTZ 4x4 Crew - I added rear assist springs for better payload, towing and lifting. Also added a 1" washer under the A-pillars for a 2" front end alignment. Michelin LTX AT2 tires (one size up, same width). alignment. I've been riding Rough Country N3 shocks for about six months. The rear always felt wobbly, jelly-like and bounced over bumps. Had a payload of 500 pounds (mud) and things got worse. Weary! I contacted Bilstein, told them about my issues and they recommended…
