Bilisteins 5100 only fit lifted/level trucks?

Fox has that stupid 50k mile overhaul “requirement” too

Thinking of swapping out my boys GMC 2500HD with 2.5” fox shocks.

TX of course
I have almost 200k on the blue/yellow Bilisteins. The only thing I could bitch about is Ive had to replace the bushing on them a few times.

they are available for every combo as far as I know..
I have 20000 on mine now and huge difference over the rancho that were on it. They took away any bounce over bad expansion joints on freeway corners.

If you're on a budget, KYB makes a nice shock(they were OEM on many vehicles). I know my Burb ate AZ Gabriels like nothing, 3 months, and they were shot. I ponied up and bought Bilsteins from AZ(that way I have a nationwide lifetime warranty) and they have been great for almost 10 years now. Had to take the fronts off to replace my half shafts and it was all I could do to compress them to get them back in.

I don’t believe kyb makes shocks for the lml. I tried looking them and bell techs up since I’m decranked with shackles. Ended up just throwing stock height 5100s on and it was a good improvement over my stock blown ranchos.

Just checked rockauto and they list them for it.
