Review on πŸš— Bilstein 24-187350 Rear Shock for Dodge Ram 1500: Enhanced Performance & Vibrant Yellow Design by James Hounds

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice improvement over OEM and other aftermarket shocks

Bought these to replace a Rancho RS9000XL kit on my 2016 1500 Ram. The fact that I had to replace the shocks on this truck for seven (7) months because the Rancho shocks I installed last fall failed is quite annoying, but the smooth ride these shocks provide makes up for it almost make up for the inconvenience. I hope these Bilsteins last longer. I've seen some pretty interesting ways to get access to the upper shock nut on a Ram 1500, including modifying a wrench and using a big goosefoot on the nut, leaving it in place until the next shock change. I used a swivel head ratchet with a 21mm (7/8) deep socket on the top nut. A torque arm, extension cord and breaker also work, they get into tight spaces. It also helps to have a slap or a second pair of hands to loosen/tighten the hardware.

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • don't remember but there was something
