About this Manufacturer:
Bilstein has long been known as one of the premier suspension and tuning companies in the world. They have an illustrious history that dates back to the late 1800s when August Bilstein founded the German company as a steel foundry. Around the early 1800s they shifted their focus to producing springs and the suspension legend grew from there. Today they continue to be an industry leader with high-tech innovative suspension solutions for nearly every vehicle from daily driver to top level race cars. Bilstein products have been proven all over the world in some of the most technologically advanced and grueling competitions including Formula One racing, the World Rally Championship, and endurance racing. They have also supplied many components for OEM vehicles straight from the factory. With high levels of design, production and quality control, Bilstein products are some of the best available.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are struts and shocks? Why buy them?
Shock absorbers (shocks) are a device that controls spring motion through dampening. A shock absorber slows down and reduces the vibrations created by imperfections in the roadway. A strut is a shock absorber mounted inside a coil spring that does the same job of dampening. Whether your truck uses a strut or shock depends on the factory setup, but both do the same thing and are synonymous in terms of their function. The product listings on our website indicate exactly what is available for your truck. Aftermarket struts or shocks are an especially good purchase when lowering your truck because they are specially made for optimal performance based on ride height, and can handle the extra stress your suspension will throw at them. Your factory struts or shocks will be out of their "comfort zone" if you lower your truck, which causes them to wear down faster and ultimately fail. You can definitely lower your truck without replacing the struts/shocks, but they will wear down quickly, and you ride quality will suffer.
Is there any difference between struts and shocks?
Struts/shocks both have the same job by dampening the kinetic energy of suspension travel. Struts perform two jobs: They provide a dampening function like shock absorbers, and they provide structural support for the vehicles suspension. That means that the struts deliver a bit more than shock absorbers, which don't support vehicle weight but control the speed at which weight is transferred in a vehicle. Either way, your options are limited to what is available for your trucks.
Do shocks come in sets of 4?
Struts and shocks are sold individually on our website, but purchasing should always be done in pairs at the minimum (one pair for the front, one for the rear). Most people replace all four shocks/struts at once.
How do you install shocks/struts?
Shocks are easier to install because there are only two bolts holding in each shock absorber. Struts are a bit more difficult because there is a compressed spring that needs to be removed first. Once the spring has been removed the new strut can be installed with the OEM or aftermarket spring re-installed.
