shock question for tow rig

"Bilstein 5100 Series Offroad Shocks - these shocks are for lifted trucks, Jeeps and pre-runners. They are designed for specific manufactured lift kits utilizing the stock OEM mounting configuration."


VS


"Bilstein Heavy Duty (HD) Shocks - Recommended shock for most applications, designed to work with the springs that came with your vehicle. These shocks provide improved handling and stability without sacrificing ride comfort"


Hope that helps :beer:

lol yea i read that but didnt know if anyone had some on road experence with them.. also im planning on installing a 2in leveling kit but i dont want to wait for front shocks it needs them bad :driver:
 
5100s are available in stock lengths. They're valved slightly more firmly than the HD (yellow bodied) ones.
 
NP... and I guess I never answered your question, really. I've got 5100s on a 3/4t Cummins. I'm happy with them, but they are probably on the stiff side. It rides great when it's loaded, and a bit like a 7400# sports car when empty. I usually drop the front tires to 60psi and the rears to 30-35 when it's going to be empty for a while.
