Just don't expect them anytime soon. I am waiting for over a month now. Some kind of national back order.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gif

I've gotten two sets of Bilsteins at ProAm Auto:


http://www.proamauto.com


$258.00, each set, total, shipped for free. Never had to wait. Both times ordered Monday and installed them Friday. No backorder waiting.


Check them out. Great service.

I got mine from pickuptruck.com for $46ea on sale a while back. But I checked more recently and their prices currently don't seem any better than Kennedy's.

They are on backorder on proamauto too. Just talked to the guy. He isn't sure whether they fit on a 2004, even on Bilsteins site they run only until 2003. Anybody installed them on a 2004 already?
Thanks

John Kennedy gave a good price, excellent communications, and fast delivery. Recommend that you check with him at Kennedy Diesel. http://dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Rock%20On.gif

What model of Bilstein are you guys referring to? Bilstein makes lots of different shocks.

Just order from Kennedy using his web site, all you have to do is identify your truck by year and model (2500hd OR 3500) he will take care of the rest. I guarantee you will like them

Put mine on today, Big difference


On a washboard road (for you city types that is a gravel road with ridges that cause your teeth to fall out when you drive on it) my truck would slide sideways now it just feels like a vibration. I must be crazy now I drive around looking for holes to run over.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

That still doesn't clarify if we're talking about:


BILSTEIN 5100 SERIES
BILSTEIN 5150 SERIES
BILSTEIN 6100 SERIES
BILSTEIN 7100 SERIES


One guy said he got a great deal at $260. Another guy said $43. We can't be talking about the same shock here.


So what model are all you guys running?
