AFFILIATE LINK DISCLOSURE: Friends, making a quality Loloho video is kind of like making sausage - only slightly more violent. It's a ridiculous amount of work that typically involves high dollar camera drops, blue-screen-of-death computer crashes, and at least one angry shotgun wielding old man shouting, “Hey! Get the hell outta here!” Once the final video is posted, rewards here on KZread are few and far between (unless you are a masochist who enjoys being verbally abused by anonymous trolls). One saving grace is our affiliate links. JUST CLICKING THESE LINKS HELPS TO SUPPORT OUR LITTLE SHOW. Think of this clicking as like tipping - except that it doesn't cost you anything extra!

    I just put Bilstein B6 4600 shocks on the back of my 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 and wow what a difference! The OEM monotube shocks were 9 years old with 73,000 miles on them. The factory exhaust had also melted the dust boot on the right rear shock when I towed my travel trailer up Parleys Canyon on I-80 between Salt Lake City and Park City, Utah. That shock was also easier to compress than the right side which tells me the heat affected it. The ride and control is so much better with the new Bilstein shocks. Next I will have the front shocks replaced too.

    I have Bilstein B6 shocks, which are the monotube shocks with the famous yellow body and blue boot. The problem is that they claim to be an OE replacement application that work with stock springs. However, after putting them on, I notice that these famous Bilstein monotube shocks with the yellow body and blue boot are extremely stiff. They should not list the parts as OE replacement. My original shocks had 30k miles on them and were in excellent shape, so I wasn't comparing worn out shocks with the new Bilsteins. The handling and steering feel of the monotube is noticeably better, but I wish they were a little softer. To people who are afraid of the monotube applications being too stiff, they should consider the OE grade replacement twin tube Bilsteins. They are usually about half the price of the monotube versions.

  • @ChrisRI1000
    @ChrisRI10006 жыл бұрын

    Heard a lot of good things about these shocks. I was going to get them but we switched from a travel trailer to a class C. At that point I went with beefier sway bar on the rear and a steering dampener (basically a shock absorber for steering). That pretty much took care of the swaying and the jittery steering problems. If we have the RV long enough where shocks are needed we'll definitely be getting the Bilsteins.

I did axle work for years and I can't tell you how many people iv heard say they didn't know to service that, or what it even was. It could just be a seal, but it could also be leaking because the bearing preload on the Pinion is gone. Looking at the exhaust, is that even seemore?

    I replaced my original 2002 F250 150k shocks with the Blistein 5100's, a heavier duty shock than the 4600's. Very impressed, especially when towing. They do ride firmer than Ford's OEM around town drive but with my RV attached a much better ride and drive. If you have a smaller RV the 4600's will do the job, maybe better than the 5100's, if you have a larger, heavier RV and do a lot of traveling go with the 5100's the price difference in minimal.

    After watching the video, seeing the quality the company puts into the shock and getting a thumbs up from Sean, I would feel comfortable buying these shocks. When I seen the plastic ty-rap on the shock, my very first thought was, why didn't they use a stainless steel ty-rap. I think it would not only make the shock look better, it would show that the company spared no cost at making the best shock on the market. Thanks for the response and sharing your experience with the shock.

    There are Bilstein's and there are Bilstiens. We have a Class A on an F53 chassis. Ford installed shocks that looked like Bilsteins, but were a mediocre performance spec that they build for OEM use by Ford. Definitely not in the after market class. I changed the OEM shocks within 6 months of getting the motorhome. Decided to go with Koni's and have experienced a major improvement in ride. There is a raging debate going on in various forums over the relative merits of after market Bilstiens vs. Koni's for F53 chassis. Both seem to do much better than the OEM's, but there seems to be variation in "best" depending upon the chassis rating and how a motorhome manufacturer loaded the chassis. I will admit, that the willingness of Bilstien to put their name on a low grade OEM shock did affect my choice.

    So Rick, thanks for your comment. You bring up an excellent observation. If your F53 was a 2015 or older, then yes that chassis was equipped with BILSTEIN from the assembly line. However, those factory BILSTEIN Shocks were built with the valving forces requested and developed by Ford. BILSTEIN made those to the reciepe that Ford provided in simple terms. Our aftermarket products for the F53 Chassis (24-234511 Front & 24-234528 Rear) are a MAJOR improvement in ride and handling over the factory equipped BILSTEIN that came on the chassis. Do not misunderstand me, the quality of the factory shocks and workmanship is the same BILSTEIN quality as you would always expect. However, when OEMs use our dampers, many request us to build the dampers at their provided specifications. I would love for you to try the above dampers I gave part numbers for, I think you will like them better than what you currently have. - Thanks! Brian @ BILSTEIN

    I'm confused. Only the word Bilstein was mentioned throughout the video. The truck got a yellow shock. During the video there was mention of the most popular Bilstein shock which was silver. So why did the truck get the yellow shock and not the silver shock which is more popular?

    Bondo great observation and thanks for paying attention! In the video the silver most popular reference was for the shocks on the table for the video. Those particular ones were for class a and c motor homes. Those particular shocks have a silver zinc finish. The yellow ones for Sean’s truck required our 4600 series. They are heavy duty shocks but are yellow in color. The two most common series of BILSTEIN shocks for trucks are 4600 and 5100. 4600 series are for non lifted trucks and suvs. 5100s are for leveled or lifted. Hope this helps clear things up!

    Any quality aftermarket shock is going to be a HUGE improvement over OEM garbage. Fox, Billstien, Icon, etc... I have a 1-year old Ford F-150 Lariat FX 4 with the "upgraded offroad suspension" and it is AWFUL. One shock has already begun leaking and creaking when it compresses. The leaf springs are way too plush... all that garbage is coming off this summer for an ICON system.

    Jerry, great question. The "yellow & blue" shocks are our 4600 Series Shocks. The Zinc coated silver shocks we offer are our 5100 Series. General rule of thumb on the two series is that when a truck has not been fitted with a leveling kit or lift kit, the 4600 Series are the shocks that are tuned to the factory suspension on most trucks. Only if you have installed a level or lift kit would we reccommend using the 5100s. The 5100 Series are tuned with the changes in place that a level kit and lift kit makes to your truck. Hope this helps. - Thanks, Brian @ BILSTEIN
