These shocks were a welcomed upgrade to the old shocks on my 2000 K2500. The old shocks were toast and had no rebound left in them. I gained almost an inch of ride height back in the front and 1/2 inch in the rear. No lift just new factory length shocks. The truck still rides like a 3/4 ton truck, but these Bilsteins smoothed out the ride and regained traction in the rear on hills and rough road.
Bilstein is the only way to go. Never had any problems with Bilsteins. The fitment is A+++ no problems on installation. Would recommend this brand shock to anyone who wants a superior ride, quality and performance
