24238304 Shock Absorber

Always great shocks but shop and compare closely the total price you will pay. I over paid.

I should had replaced my OE shocks when I bought my truck new few years ago. These Bilstein, unlike OE shocks that feel like you’re driving a 1978 Cadillac that rides like a boat, these have very good positive feel, with almost no body roll, and handle bumps very well. Trucks glides over large bumps without dipping or rolling. Feels more like a performance car, instead a boat. Also finally my truck is leveled front to rear, thanks to adjustment on the shocks. I should had replaced the original shocks on day one with these Bilsteins. Strongly recommended.

If you plan to level your GMC/Chevy this is really the best option. This is of course assuming you are not looking to spend $1000+ on some Fox Coilovers.. Forget about that spacer level kit. Spacer kits are actually awful for the geometry of your IFS truck. These Bilsteins do not negatively alter any geometric angles on your truck. They do not limit down travel or up travel. They may actually increase up travel, take a look at my attached picture. Bilstein has a nice blueprint how they work on their site. They not only can/will level your ride they also improve the ride quality. Hard to explain what the difference is like in words but it is quite noticeable especially over rough terrain. There is more of a controlled feel from the front end, with less brake dive, and body roll. I have had these installed on 4 of my GMC sierras now installed on a 2007,2012,2015, now my 2018. I put a ton of mileage on my trucks which is why I turn them over so much. For me it has become an automatic upgrade and very first mod when I get my new GM truck. I have had all conceivable suspension packages offer by GM-(z71,NHT, and z51?) These shocks are better than all of them, especially the Ranchos that come on the z71. I have experimented with all of the setting for these shocks, I tend to like the 3rd notch aka the second highest setting for these. They level the truck at this setting, yet still leave a slight rake for towing. These are also very well made. Very nice welds, beautiful zinc finish. It is highly likely that these would outlast your stock units. I have never had an issue with them. If you have anything short of a GMC Denali with magnetic ride control and plan to get that ridiculous "rake" out of your truck all while improving the ride quality----I say buy these! I install these myself with a wall mounted coil spring compressor. If you don't have a wall mounted compressor I recommend you get these installed professionally. The ones you can rent at an auto parts store are NOT safe. If you have a Toyota Tacoma or mid-size truck the rental ones are fine. These newer "1/2 ton" trucks (closer to 1 tons now more than ever) springs are very strong. If you do have one, the install is very easy. 2 hours max.

Huge difference in ride height and quality. Install was straight forward and the quality of the strut is awesome. The only con I found while installing is the provided hardware, the nuts are much smaller than stock and more difficult to tighten down.

I highly recommend these struts. The quality is great. I had motofab 2 inch leveling blocks installed before these and I am shocked by the difference in ride quality. I have the bilsteins on the highest lift setting and it’s still worlds better than the factory struts with lift blocks. It’s advertised as 1.77” of lift at the highest setting but seems identical to the 2 inch blocks I had before. Very close to level. The ride is definitely a little stiffer than stock but in a good way in my opinion. No more floating around and no more brake dive. Truck feels comfortable and much more controlled. If you’re mechanically inclined and have the right tools (all can be bought cheap here on Amazon) then this install is not bad at all. Took me a few hours in my driveway including a brake job.
