Got back from a big trip, at under 50k miles I think the shocks are dead (a lot of excessive rebound even unloaded) and the struts are probably dead (seems to bottom out too easy).

I'm looking at Shock Surplus and I see two Bilstein options I would consider: one is 5150 replacement strut inserts and shocks for about $550 and the other is loaded struts assemblies (with springs) and rear shocks for $1200. For a highway truck, would it need the front springs at 50k miles?

I have 5150s on both my other trucks...want to stay with them.

Give @Nick@GotExhaust a shout, he's a vendor on the forum and wealth of knowledge of what works on these trucks, and yes he carries more than exhaust systems!

Do you mean 5100's?

You do not need to replace your coils at 50,000 miles.

Are you looking to level the truck or lift it at all? How do you use the truck?

We can help with any suspension items. Message me and I can provide a quote.
