My Rights As An American Report post Posted October 22, 2014 For a stock vehicle are the bilstein 4600 series good? I can get both front and rear shipped for $285 which sounds darn good. They seem to be steering me away from the 5100 series for a stock truck. Thanks again everybody! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lancetkenyon Report post Posted October 22, 2014 After a quick search of "Bilstein 4600 vs. 5100", I came to the conclusion that the 4600s are better for a stock height truck and the 5100s for a lifted truck. Google it and read a few threads all over the interweb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
My Rights As An American Report post Posted October 22, 2014 I was coming to that same conclusion after doing a bunch of research. Thanks again everybody. Looks like I am getting the bilstein 4600 series for both front and rear for $285 shipped to my door. What a deal! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

willhunt4coues Report post Posted October 22, 2014 I love shopping at Rockauto.com they have the best pricing I can find on the net. Just an FYI. I was too looking for shocks and know I am not as hard on them as the rock crawlers but I have had the Rancho 5000 and after 1 year blew them out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rcdinaz Report post Posted October 23, 2014 I have Bilsteins on my Avalanche which has a 6" RCD lift. They have been great shocks even on a very heavy vehicle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mpriest Report post Posted October 23, 2014 I put in the Bilstein 5100 shocks in my Tacoma and love them. They are the adjustable ones and raised my front end up about 1.5 inches. They haven't made the ride any stiffer and I have absolutely zero problems with them. I would recommend them without hesitation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was lookin into em for my ram 2500 (stock) and seems as if they're for lifted trucks. I was wanting the 2" level as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZkiller Report post Posted October 24, 2014 Bilstein by far. I have the 5100 and love them. Only shock with an extruded tube (no welds Seam) only welds are on the ends. Made in CA. Rancho is throat overrated shock on the market, may as we'll but a Monroe, same shock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
