I don't even own chevy but I have watched the whole thing. Great job! I am buying these for my F150, so slow motion test is what made your video super useful!

I put the 4600 in my Ford Expedition, I was sick of the boat felling like, when I put the Bilstein, damn, the bounce disappear, amazing the improvement and the cheap that the Bilstein is in comparison with original shocks...

Good video. There are torque specs for these. Rear use oem specs 85 ft lbs, and front tops Bilstein say's 33 ft lbs for the nylocks. Question, when was the last time you greased your front end?

Thanks for the comment! Probably last alignment few weeks ago.

Very informative! I live in MI and am replacing the stock ranchos on my 18 2500hd next week. Our roads are often absolute trash; how does the bilstein handle crappy pavement?

Thank you! Empty is harder to see because 2500s are stiff empty. But loaded are amazing.

Awesome video! Is the factory nut on the front tops also 13/16” wrench?

Thanks so much!!! No the bolt on top of the front shock is a ¾.

Came here to ask the same question. Headed down to do the Pittman arm, idler arm, tie rods and shocks. Thanks for the wrench sizes and the video.

How come nobody takes the spare tire of before doing this. Damn it would make things so much easier.

Searching videos for shock reviews and just came by this one. Just to be fair, if those Ranchos came as OEM on that truck, they are not the same as Ranchos you would buy after market; even if you think you are buying the same model number. The OEM shocks are tuned for the car manufacture specifically for that truck for all kinds of reasons (to match the OEM tires for CAFE standards, to meet gvt safety standards for braking, etc). So, if you had compared them to off the shelf Ranchos, this would be a better comparison because both brands will feel better than the OEM.
