I found a pair of used Bilsteins for really cheaphttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif, I was woundering if these are the shocks that everyone is talking about that make such an improvement? I have a 2002 2500HD cc sb and cranked 2" keyways up front, I was curious if these would be the best shock for my truck? The part #'s are as followed:


Front p/n 6081-HO Rear p/n 6501-H1


Thanks for any and all help.

Thanks for the reply. From what I have gathered the fronts are the same on 2500HD and 3500HD models but the rear have a diffrent part # because they are valved diffrent to accomodate the bigger springs. I guess the ones I found are for a 3500HD.


Have you cranked on your torsion bars, if so what did you do to make up for the shock travel?


Thanks

Those ones on ebay you are reffering too are for a 3500 dually.

I cranked 7 turns each side to level the truck. I haven't noticed any travel problems as far as the shocks go.

Someone with a 3500 might as well pick these up cheap.
