Welp we shall see. just ordered some BILSTEIN 5150s.

After much debate and research, I went with some Bilstein 5150s. Should be interesting to see how the ride is compared to my Rough country shocks. Im still using rough country springs but may upgrade to some custom Deavers later on, once my funds recover. Will post pics and poser shots once they get here (7-10days ).

Those are the ones with the attached resevior's (sp?), right?

I ran the 5150's on my old Blazer and I really liked them. I can't recall any numbers, but the on road ride was good, and off road performance was good.

[badmix]

[Slapperbar]

Do tell when they're installed.

 

[badmix]

Do tell when they're installed.

x2 I am looking into getting a set for the front of mine

 

[trucknace]

I had some on my K10 and they were pretty good but i would still like to try those doetsch tech monos

 

[supersize75k5]

you should like them


as for the deavers, i would say that is dollar for dollar some of the best money I ever spent for my full size chevy

 

[bot0611]

Whay valving did you get??

i had 170/60 and at first they drove great but in time they got a bit soft so had to upgrade once again

 

[badmix]

I got the 255/70 front and rear. I thought about the 170s, but talked alot with Bilstein and they said the H1s were better all around as apposed to the H0

I run 5150's on my k10 and I like them... you should be happy.

 

[throttleissues]

I can't help thinking that a 100-series Toyota Land Cruiser might be better suited for you than a K5.

Bite your tongue, traitor! You oughtta be banned for that kind of talk.

 

[Slapperbar]

So... How are the shocks?
