Bilsteins on the rear

[FALaholic]

So is it necessary to put/replace the rear shocks with Bilsteins when putting the adjustables on the front. I would presume no, but thought I would ask. The stock shocks have 60k on them

I'd be interested in know who runs the Bilsteins on the rear. I wish those were adjustable as well as I'm looking to raise the rear 1".

I have them installed on the rear, as well in the front @2.1 setting. The rear did not change at all as far as height in the back.


Wait a second... I'm posting from an iPhone?

I guess what Im asking is are the stock shocks due to be replaced at 60k miles? The previous owner didnt haul anything in it judging by the excellent condition of the bed.

i just replaced mine at 20K!

So Im probably well beyond replace time?

eh, its all up to how its riding. Mine wasn't bad, in fact they'll be up for sale soon. 20K on them is nothing. I just wanted to freshen it up a bit.

I wonder how much the stock shocks would go for? Im about ready to replace mine with bilstein ( all 4 of them) with around 12k miles on them.

Well FYI for anyone lurking...I left the stock rear shocks on there for my TGC 1" rear spacer lift.

I will replace them at some point, but I just cant swing it financially all at once.
