2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Bilstein Question

[Joe Mc]

Looking for something to replace the Monroe's that were on when I bought it. Don't want anything too harsh, just a nice ride. I've searched the Bilstein site, for my 8800 GVW + signature info, no lift - the application part numbers are BE5-2549 front and BE5-2550 rear. However, if I search by the part number it describes they're for a 3500 4X4 not the 2500 I have? Also, how much did you all spend for a set of 4. Looks like they're $115 each?

I have those part numbers on my 2500 short bed, the ride is nice... huge improvment over stock. I got them from ORW (off road warehouse) TDR discount. Don't remember the price off hand but a lot less than $100 each as i recall. I will see if I can find the receipt.



I had trouble with one shock but got it worked out ok in the end... rare occurence I am sure.

Off Road Warehouse & eshocks.com have the best prices I've seen...

What's the code you enter for the TDR discount?

you enter your tdr membership number

It kept telling me invalid code when entering my TDR number. Called Robbin and verified it was correct. ORW said they would enter it manually before charging my credit card so hopefully no problems.

With TDR discount it came to $57. 00 per shock with free shipping.

Had mine installed today!

You go to Off Road Warehouse homepage and click on the TDR banner and when you place an order it automatically gives you the TDR discount. Front and back #'s 2549 and 2550 respectively... $57. 99 each w/discount... boxes had $64. 99 marked on them. Free shipping and they were here in 3 days from sunny Commyforna!

I bought my Bilstiens from AutoZone. IIRC, they were in the neighborhood of $60-70/ea.
