Bilstein vs. Doetsch

[79bonanza]

ok im looking into gettin me some new shocks for the trail truck, im kinda stuck in the middle between the bilstein 5150's and the doetsch 2.0 monotube shocks. both look like quality shocks and the doetsch shocks are rebuildable so im kinda leaning to them.

what do you guys think

Ive heard lots of good about bilstiens.

I ran a set of doetsch tech's drop shocks on a lowered short box I used to have. Great shock I must say, Id buy them again in a heartbeat.

i was leaning torward the bielstiens but you can rebuild the doetsch shocks at home, do you know if you can rebuild a bilstein

you cannot rebuild a blistein at home.

I know a friend with those doetch and he loves em

well i made my decision, im goin to go ahead with the doetsch monotube. i know alot of guys on here run the bilstien 5150's but i think im just goin to try out the doetsch, they have good reviews and i havent heard anything bad about them and they look pretty sharp to boot lol

You still made a good choice....
