73-87 Chevy _ GMC Trucks > Brakes, Frame, Steering & Suspension
Getting too old for bouncing
JohnnyPopper:
I'm on Bilstein's website looking for OE application, no info for my '78, no info. Went up to '87, no info.
Will check Summit.
JohnnyPopper:
VZ, thx for the observation.
There is a wide continuum in Bilstein's applications, i.e. original to radical off road.
Just looking to find as smooth a shock as is available.
JohnnyPopper:
B6 4600 series look like the best recommendation from Summit.
More like the only... for this year.
4x the price...for those who have gone down this rabbit hole: is it worth it?
I just want a smooth ride for my old bones...

I have the B6 4600 shocks on my '77. P/N: 24-009331 on the rear and P/N: 24-009232 on the front. I put them on there last November just before Elk hunting season. My truck is bone stock for suspension. I like them. Can't tell you if they make a big difference. My old shocks were worn-out though. Rebuilt leaf packs or custom springs will make a difference. If you really want to make an improvement, convert to longer leaf springs. Install B52 hangers in the front: https://diy4x.com/product.php?productid=17715 and you can swap rear hangers and install 56" springs in the back if you don't already have them.

I sell KYB, Monroe and Rancho...I use Bilstein. 'Nuff said.
