Time to let it go, to a new home. https://tucson.craigslist.org/cto/d/lordsburg-silverado-ss/6779925515.html Thanks Jason

Installed about five hundred miles ago, noticeable improvement but any new shocks would have been since one front and one rear was blown,overall I'm happy, still feels like it's riding on bump stops but they are new and I set the ride height to factory, I guess that's just how these trucks ride.

found some on amazon- gm part number 15161761, no longer made, new part number 15153958, should be front direct replacement. still looking for rear ones.

I ordered the bilstein 4600 front and rear amazon, I'll report back

So.... Where is the cheapest place to purchase the bilstein? I'll just get the 4600 model since I cannot confirm fitment on the 5100

2005 w/ 155k so far all major components are original. also use it to tow a 7,000 pound toyhauler, no problems so far.

No I held off, still considering but not sure if will work

I like it

what is the popular brake controller for towing these days? and any good mounting options? discreet? w/out hacking up the dash. Thanks Jason

Thanks

Who makes bump stops for stock height truck? And what's best? Or should go to dealer?

any pictures with the stock size BFG All Terrain Tires on stock rims?

So.... I have searched and read many many wonderful threads in reference to the rear window leaks on these trucks, unfortunately, mine seems to have a different problem, the front of the glass (in relation to the front of the vehicle) clips into the window frame and has been removed previously for paint work, and is loosely fitted currently due to the plastic being worn/cracked/broken. I am considering gluing the windows shut against the frame box, since nobody rides in the back seat, and rolling windows down in my truck is forbidden anyways lol. anyone else done this? I think the only other option is top replace the window frame and that looks like mucho trabajo...... thanks in advance! Jason

thanks for the replies, I went with auto anything, with the promo now I got the FIPK K&N kit, plus free shipping and a free service kit, $202 shipped!

So I want cai, k and n, also bilstein shocks, where is a good place to purchase? Site supporters etc.? Otherwise I'll just go amazon. Thanks Jason

Stock ride height, anyone have experience with these?

looking at this link on ebay, but not sure it will fit/work for my purposes http://www.ebay.com/itm/BILSTEIN-24-185950-24-186636-FRONT-REAR-SHOCK-KIT-99-06-GM-1500-SILVERADO-SIERRA-/161876638394?fits=Year%3A2005%7CModel%3ASilverado+1500%7CSubmodel%3ASS&hash=item25b0997aba:g:0GMAAOSwxH1UFjC2&vxp=mtr

I've been searching high and low through the many posts on shocks, and have not seen anything about bilstein 5100, just the yellow and blue 4600 series, the bilstein website does not show the 5100 for the SS, anyone know part numbers for the 5100 series that will work? and how are they compared to stock? or should I just get the 4600 series? thanks btw stock ride height, stock wheels etc. and plan to tow a toy hauler and generally poor road travels thanks Jason

fingers crossed I will have a 2005 silver birch ss, next wednesday. 150k miles, super clean, original owner. I am a retired Chevrolet Technician, (2009) and excited about the new toy, just sold my lifted crew cab dually duramax 4x4, time for something smaller, thanks for having me. Jason
