Whats up with Bilstein?

I've been looking all over trying to find 5100's BE5-2490-HO & BE5-2489-HO for my 98 4x4 - Nobody's selling them? Is there a problem with them? I can find HD's but not HO's . Summit doesn't even have them..What gives? Anyone know where I can find them?

Thanx

jbrew

Yeah , I know the HD's will work and everyone has them , The HO's are chrome coated with black boots - I don't want the painted ones..The 5100's must be to new on the market or something.

Thanx for your reply , I think I've been to that website , if so I'll call and try to find out why there so hard to get.

That sucks - can't get them - I know they make them , but no one sells them - wasted enough time trying to buy the Bilsteins, they must not need the buisness lol . I kinda like the edlebrocks, just didn't want to take them off to adjust. I hope the presets are good..

Hi.

If you want ease of adjustment (from within the cab), you could always go with RS9000X's and add the RCX remote in-cab system...

Aren't Edlebrock's just re-labelled Monroe's anyway?

Cheers
Bubba

Iduno about the Monroe thing , guys seem to like them on the lightnings . I just want the best ride possible and need advise. I'm replacing all the bushings too. I don't mind paying for good suspension.

Try here.

Also the number you have listed is wrong. It is H0 (zero), not HO.
