Its time for new tires on my 2016 SCREW and I figure now would be a good time to swap out the horrible OEM shocks. There are several areas that I routinely travel that when I drive over them, I am white-knuckling it waiting for the dreaded bounce.

Admittedly I don't know much about shocks, but from what I have been able to gather here, the Bilstein 5100s are very good. I don't have a lift and won't be getting one. I don't do a ton of off-roading. The truck is basically a daily driver/hauling vehicle. I was running stock sized Duratracs and will be running stock sized KO2s next. The garage that will be doing the install doesn't sell the Bilsteins so I am not sure if they're familar with them.

I realize the Bilsteins are adjustable, so for those that have them, what setting do I use to keep the truck at the stock size/rake?

 

If you're not interested in leveling the truck, save your money and get Bilstein 4600 direct replacement shocks. You'll save some money and get dramatically improved damping.

 

Thanks!
