anyone have any info on the bilsteins, 5100 series. i was getting the rancho 9000's but the dealer reccommended the bilsteins.

 

Just put them on my 2000 Supercab 4X4 Offroad and my wifes 1999 Expy---Love them. After 30 years of SCCA road racing and autocrossing--tried them all. You can't beat them--I thought about Rancho 9000's, but I know I wouldn't be changing settings, so why bother!! The Bilsteins will last and be just as good 50 or 75K from now.

 

Bilstein shocks are, in my opinion, the best shocks on the road. good luck, Rich.

 

I ordered mine from shox.com and the guy on the phone said that before he'd buy his next vehicle, he'd check first if Bilstein makes shocks for it. That how sure he was that its the best one around. My ride is slightly stiffer than stock but not harsh at all. Being here in Manila. it has passed my torture test. Its been on my truck for nearly 20,000kms. My OEM shocks failed at 5k. Thats how bad it is out here.

 

I just came in from installing and test driving my new Bilsteins. Results: Greatly improved and much smoother, controlled ride than the factory shocks (of course!).
