I installed new Bilstein 4600s on my truck today and I'm very pleased with the ride. The old shocks were completely toast. They had nothing left in them and stayed collapsed. The shocks are:
24-104050 front
24-020435 rear
But I'm a little concerned about the amount of travel left on the rear shocks. They've got about 6 to 7 inches of travel left before they are collapsed. I had to move the boot down an inch or 2 on the left side to keep it from being wadded up. The right side wasn't like that, so I just attributed it to the boots being in different spots on the 2 shocks. I think the truck sits level but I should probably measure it now that I think about it to see if something else is out of whack.
Anyway, I pull a heavy trailer some times that squats the truck in the rear. I'm concerned that with only 6 or 7 inches of shock left, that it may bottom them out and do some damage. Has anyone had any problems with these shocks on these trucks?
