Overview

Bilstein offers this set for older heavy-duty F-series four wheel drive trucks, covering the front and rear axles. The zinc finish covers a metal body, and the title cites easy installation.

The stated front lift makes this one a better match for a leveled or lightly raised truck than a stock-height listing. The limit is information: no weights, valving or hardware appear in the listing.

Who it's for

Owners of earlier-generation heavy-duty trucks running a small front lift will find the rating matches. Trucks without four wheel drive, or from other years, call for different shocks.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Rated for a small front lift
  • Front and rear in one set
  • Limited lifetime warranty
Cons
  • Four wheel drive only
  • Narrow rear lift range
  • Weight not listed

Performance notes

A front lift lengthens the distance the shock travels, so the listing ties each axle to a lift range. Inside those ranges the shocks damp spring motion as designed. Beyond them the stroke no longer suits the truck.
