J.M.J. Hello, my vehicle has a service bed, so would a VIN help determine if this is the correct shock? Do you have 5100 series front shocks?

Hi We do carry the Bilstein 5100 series front shocks. You would need to provide year, make, and model of the vehicle for correct fitment. Thanks Truckcustomizers.com 800-497-1780

Tom, the shocks are shorter than your stock shocks. They fit, but the ride will not have the travel of the original shock. So if a much stiffer and easy to bottom out ride is ok, then this is a solution to lower your ride.

First four answers are incorrect. These are definitely for the FRONT. You can tell by the top - it's threaded to insert into the upper arm. The rear shock has a hole mount on top and bottom as Roy points out below. Bilstein makes a 5100 for the rear as well. I recently put them all around on my 2007 Tacoma. Rear is easy, front requires a spring compressor or if you have a local shop that will install customer provided parts the price should be around $125

This is the front shock. As Chris below indicated, you'll need to make sure the shock is sized for any lift you may have. I believe Rancho indicates this particular shock will work from 0"-2" of lift. Over 2" and you will need to get a longer shock.

not sure bro, what lift do yo u have on the truck. if you are talking about 4" that is body lift and some spring spacers then yes. Otherwise then you need to size what ever you have on right now and order accordingly. The length of this shock is equivalent to the stock one, so if you are using the stock then this should not be a problem.

Front shocks - also make sure you order the right shocks for the amount of lift you have... if you have stock vehicle these are your shocks, if you have a 2-inch lift, etc you'll need another shock..

The shock connection has to match your vehicle, specifically the width. If this matches you'll have no trouble installing these.

They are front shocks, at least they are for my S-10. If you put in all the information about your particular vehicle, the system should only show you parts that work with your car...

No. Those are for the front. Do what I did, go to Monroe.com to verify the right part numbers for the shocks you want.

I ordered a pair of shocks, and one was front and one was rear. When you order yours make sure that you mark in other comments or call amazon to verify it.

The rear of my '97 now appears a little higher than the front, though I wouldn't say 4 inches. With the airbag suspension the rear would "kneel" when you park for ease of loading, but with the kit it is up where it can take a cargo load on the road. The tops of my bumpers measure close to the same height from the ground now. Did you get the front shocks installed at the time the rear springs were installed? Even if the existing shocks were still good, that is a good idea and will affect the stance. Did you put a 4x2 kit on a 4x4 truck? That would definitely mess up the stance. Possibly you got so used to seeing it sitting down on it's haunches that the rear just looks too high now? Folks on the Ford forums might have more info, some of them are techs with a lot of experience. Just a note, I got mine last April and still like them even if my truck rides like a truck now instead of a car.

It's per shock and they're for the rear because I ordered four because it claimed to fit all four areas so take a look at your front and see if the shocks are different from the rear good luck mate

It well just not as desired especially the v6 model and the extra weight. Don't do it you'll ruin your shocks and have to replace everything maybe spending hundreds if u have someone doing it or maybe at the least 200 if u do it. These things are a joke. Buy quality with the spring already attached to the strut

Go to this website before you buy your shocks. http://www.bilsteinus.com/products/truck-off-road/5100-series-ride-height-adjustable/You should know what your buying before you buy it. I love my aluminum colored shocks and they are exactly what I wanted and expected.

I would advise you to contact Rancho and they will help you with your application. Stock height and 3-4" lifted trucks will take different shocks. Hope that helps

Hi to be honest I just installed KYB monomax shocks on my 2002 Chevy Anvalanch 1500 front and rear, and it feels like the OEM shocks to me.My truck always felt A bit stiff to me, so I really cant tell,because A truck especially like yours, you would kind of expect for it to drive A bit stiff anyway.

This statement implies that the vehicle has a suspension lift kit. Please contact us and we will go through the vehicle fitment information to determine the correct shock fitment/part numbers. You may contact us at 714-993-2011. Joel
