I know most everyone here puts on the 5100's when going with replacement shocks, but for those of you who are keeping stock ride height, pull heavy trailers and really just need a good stock replacement, the Yellow ones are IMO, excellent.

6082-HO
(sorry dont remember which is front or rear)

65,000km (approx 40k miles) on my stockers, no leaks, no evident failures, etc, and the truck was bobbing and porpoising all over...actually since new.

All that is gone now. Had them on for about 3 weeks now and driven with heavy trailer loads. Stable, sure-footed and belive it or not improved breaking perfomance.

For the price, and application, the Yellows were exactly what I needed.

Same here. Kennedy Diesel got me fixed up with them back when my truck was still a toddler.

I've run the yellow Bilsteins for over 180,000 miles on my Max and love them. I also run stock wheels and tires with no lift or bars turned. I ran them on my '98 6.5TD Tahoe for 100,000 miles, too. They REALLY made a big difference on the handling and stability of that short, heavy little SUV.

I just put them on this summer and love them, I was fed up with the front end bouncing all over the place when I hit dips on the highway. Truck feels alot tighter and newer now.

Put 'em on mine at 77,000 miles and made it feel like a new truck. I too pull with my truck and these things work great!
