Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / April 2009Shock Selection
A while back under this post http://groups.google.com/group/alt.autos.dodge.trucks/browse_thread/thread/37424 0ba9e467597/41f1d455c06decd8?lnk=gst&q=axel+ulrich#41f1d455c06decd8 I asked about tire selection. I ended up following the recommendation an bought the Michelin tires. They also got relatively good ratings in the consumer report. Now I need some new shocks. My truck still has the original shocks and they are truly worn out at 131k miles. Note: I have the original suspension, meaning the truck is neither lifted nor lowered. I was looking at Bilstein shocks and wanted to hear your experience or some other recommendation. I am looking for nothing special in the shocks but would not mind a rather stiff ride and didn't want to spend a ton of money. Thanks in advance for your advise.

I have Bilstein 5150's (I think that's the model number) on my Ram 2500, 4x4. Took a little getting use to, but I really like them now. What I noticed most of all was the improved cornering. Not that I take corners fast ... but it's nice that the truck remains relatively level rather than pitching to one side. Craig C. 2004 Ram 2500, 4x4, QC, CRD > Now I need some new shocks.

So are KYBs and they are much cheaper. I put KYBs on my Dakota at 3000 miles (not a typo - the stock shocks were crap) and they have worked very well. SignatureE Frank Ball frankb@sonic.net |
