Bilstien 5100 Shocks Backorderd - Replacement Suggestions?

Hey guys,

I need new shocks for my truck and also adding on some 33s with some XD Addicts. After reading this forum I was convinced that the Bilstein 5100 series was the best option for my truck - but they're back-ordered for up to 8 weeks.

All my other parts are in, I just need new shocks and a leveling kit - or is there any other comparable product?

I checked with them today and they said the shocks were backordered until the end of July.

Wow, I ordered mine from them on the 28th of May and they didn't say anything about a backorder. Either they just ran out or I'm being taken for a ride. Guess I'll send them an email just to be sure.
Are you a 4x4 or 4x2? Maybe they still have the 4x2 sets because that's what mine is.


That stinks, looks like Bilstein can't make 'em fast enough. Topguncustomz was the only place I could find them in stock (as long as they weren't mistaken when I ordered) two weeks ago. A local supplier said that, according the Bilstein, there's a worldwide backorder until late July.

I've got a 4wd. I'll bet the 2wd shocks are in stock.
