Who sells bilstein shocks. My 05 is stock 4 x 4 with stock height. Need info on sellers and which shocks to buy. If you have part numbers that would be great too.

Nick listened to all the issues I was having, asked a couple questions about how I use the truck, and then reccomended shocks. He put up with all my diesel newbie questions, and answered every one. Not once was he impatient with me, even though my measely shock purchase is but a guppy in the $10,000 high end lift kit pool that he swims in.

I can't wait to get these shocks on.

Good luck Manny.

I run the Bilstein 5100's on my own truck, they seemed to have taken the wallow out when going over rough sections on the freeway. We have them available if you're interested

Front Shocks (http://www.alligatorperformance.com/bilstein-5100-front-shocks-0109-25003500hd-with-lift-sold-pairs-p-4010.html)
Rear Shocks (http://www.alligatorperformance.com/bilstein-5100-rear-shocks-0109-25003500hd-with-lift-sold-pairs-p-4011.html)

Let me know if I can help.

Thank you for the referral:).

Here was another recent customer that was very happy with the improved ride on a set of shocks we matched him up with. NorCal Bilstein 5100 - Why did I wait so long... (http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=378680)

There are alot of shocks out there and matching the right length so you do not limit travel and get the better valving to improve handling is key to maximize your purchase. We have tried many combo and shock brands and Bilstein hands down gave us the wide diversity of sticking to 1 shock manufacture but high lighting the personal ways we all use our truck if it may be driving style or hauling to lifted suspension set ups we feel that the Bilstein shocks are something that is un matched with any other shock manufacture in it's price range.

A great looking truck is nice but a great looking truck with a great ride to go with looks is awesome!!

In stock ready to ship HD yellows are what I would recommend. We add a small spacer to take the strain off the lower bushings when at full extension. No need for part numbers as I list by application to simplify things.
