Thanks for Recommending Bilstein 5100 SHOCKS !!
I just put on the 5100's today and man they are really, really nice shocks. Thanks to all of you savvy Silverado guys who urged me to get them.
I only rode about 10 miles today on them but judging from the way they felt , i am going to like them a lot.
Big difference in accelerating, braking, and going over bumpy rode.. They just make the ride feel good
So..thanks to those of you who spoke highly about the Bilsteins 5100.

Well I have HD suspension and tow and plow package anyway which are OEM ...but no they are original..
I put the Bilsteins 5100 on all four corners..Here's what you should know. I was getting different suggestions about which Bilstein to order so I called Bilstein and spoke to service rep. You could get either the Bilstein 5100's or the Bilstein HD's. The HD's are less expensive. They are PAINTED yellow and blue ..(which means it will eventually peel away) AND they are not designed for any lift now or in the future.
On the other hand the 5100's are silver and black and are plated not painted. Plus they are designed for either 0inch up to much higher..so just check them out..
I am glad I have put on the 5100's and yes, do it right on all four corners.
Hope this helps.
