    4wheelparts Bilstein Part #s

    Front Right Strut: F4-BE3-C704-H0
    Front Left Strut: F4-BE3-C703-H0
    Rear Shocks: BIL24-125130

    Whn I put my readylift on, I felt every bump on the road. After I installed the bilstein shocks and struts,my ride was back to normal.

    **EDIT: Just so you know.. the guys at 4wheelparts said the shocks will not fit... but they do.

    Wat I don't understand is how a bilstein which is valved more aggressively will provide a softer ride than the stock shocks (front)

    I have no issues with my lift, everything seems to ride smooth. I run 33 psi on my 33s.


    IMO, you should run all four 32-35 PSI for highway driving.

    BTW, My 235 75 15s are LT... does that affect the PSI? Should I still run 32-35 PSI?

    take the air out. You can even run less than what it says on the door because I'm sure these new tires have a stiffer Sidewall than the dunlops

    Are your tires P metric or LT?

    I dropped my PSI to around 33-34 and ride comfort definitely got better...but I've been doing some reading and have a feeling I should air my LT's back up to 40 for safety reasons.

    Hey there... do you know if these Rear Shocks will fit? I have AAL's from Fat Bobs 2.75" Lift Kit installed in the rear. I'm assuming I would need longer shocks for the rear because of the AAL's..

    I'm about to buy some new shocks.. but before I do I want to make sure I buy the right ones..

    I know the Front struts are correct but the rear shocks you have listed.. BIL24 - 125130 will fit? Why not F4-BE3-C705-HO ?

    Thanks

    I believe that is correct my good sir. Actually.. when I google "F4-BE3-C705-HO" it doesn't seem to find anytihng..:confused: . Why are you paying so much?? I paid around $150 from 4wheelparts.com . I believe they are having a sale right now too...
