Bilstein 5100 Monotube Gas Shocks Rear Pair compatible with 2011-2018 GMC Sierra 2500 HD 2WD 4WD

Far superior to OEM. I replaced my Fox 2.0 shocks with these 5100's and am now throwing rocks at Fox. There is literally no comparison in the ride. I haul a 40ft fifth wheel regularly and Bilstein 5100's keep the rear end in check. I'm a convert from Fox and will add these to my entire fleet. I am, however, extremely disappointed in the availability to purchase. There was an issue with the width of the eyelet, even specifically for my truck the brackets on the truck had to be bent outward and the eyelet slightly ground down about 1/16" per side. It seems manufacturing has been halted and you cannot find certain application's anywhere.. Pick it up, Bilstein!

I liked the ride control offered by these shocks. The ride was stiffened a slight amount without the trailer.

The only challenge is compressing the shock to fit the gap you have between each bolt.I accomplished that by cutting the strap that holds the shock in a compressed state, and then clipped the two ends of the strap to hold the shock with some needle nose vice grips at the right gap.

These easily replace the factory Ranchos on my 2016 Chevrolet 2500 HD LTZ Duramax. Less than an hour to make the swap. The ride is a little stiffer but not bad at all. I have pulled my 14 ft flat bed 4 wheel trailer with a light load and was pleased with the results. I have not pulled my 30 ft fifth wheel yet but I am sure will be better than the OEMs

The Bilstein 5100's made a huge difference in the ride quality on my 2018 GMC 3500 HD. When on Interstate or highway roads, the constant bounce is gone when going over road expansion joints. While on the larger bumps it's about the same, the smaller road bumps have smoothed out. Makes long trips so much easier on my back and I'm not as tired at end of long trips. I highly recommend the Bilstein shocks!

Install was very easy replacement of the stock shocks on a 2019 Silverado 2500 LTZ. that had only 45000 miles. Nice ride after the replacement.

Very easy to install I never changed shocks before but very easy install just need a couple tools

These are indeed manufacture part 24-196468. Just be aware that the picture shows rubber boots. This product comes with a rigid plastic boot. They still function as designed but if expecting a rubber boot not. They do come as a pair of 2 individually boxed items, my pic only shows one to show what the actual product looks like.
