2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission bilstien shocks

[cwarner]

looking for a place that sells and installs these in the metro detroit area.

I bought mine from Autozone. They had to order them. They aren't that bad to install. The worst one is the one on the front left. I didn't use any air tools either. No breaker bars were needed.

I've said this before and I'll say it again.

I took off a perfectly good set of Gabriel Ryders to put on the more expensive bilsteins and noticed NO improvement.

If I had it to do over I would stay with the Gabriels.

120K on the Bilsteins that replaced the Magnums at 30K that replaced the stock OE junk at 25K.



Can't comment on the Gabriels but the Bilsteins have doen well for the last 8 years in my 2 wd 3500 SLT Ext Cab.



At 200 for 4 shocks with a life time warranty - that's not a bad deal. Wish Dodge would have built the fuel sending unit, the throttle cable, the oil pressure sending unit, the paint quality, the return fuel lines, and so on to the same quality levels.



Got mine from MacNeils - a mail order catalog place.

Ended up buying some from ORW, got the TDR discount .

I also plan on buying the Urethane bushings from AutoZone and installing them right from the start.
