Fits perfect and was delivered way before expected.

Put these Bilstein 4600’s shocks on the front and rear of my 2025 GMC Denali HD 2500. My truck with my camper tow did a lot of bouncing, now it rides like a truck. Installation was easy if you have the tools to do it, I suggest you watch some videos on youtube and take the different hints to make the job as easy for you as you can.

What a difference these shocks made.Thank you.

Fits my truck and I’m happy with how easy it was to install! All the OEM bolts/nuts were a 21mm besides the ones that came with the shocks which were a 19mm for the front two so make sure you have them on hand. I bought these to replace my worn out ones to these and the ride quality was a big difference in how it rides. I’m looking forward to how it feels to tow.Bilstein recommends 33ft-lbs for the front two top nuts and for the bottom should be 89ft-lbs. the rears should be 85ft-lbs, but honestly impact them on good and you’ll be alright.

The shocks are direct replacement. Fit perfect and price was the best I could find. The ride of truck is a lot better after replacment of worn oem shock.
Turnbuck –
Great shocks, easy to install but didn’t include bolts so don’t go cutting the old hardware off.

Much better ride than my stock shocks with 150,000 miles on them. Put on a 2017 silverado 2500hd. I would buy again.
Pleased –
Great value for the price. Replaced OEM shocks on a 2019 GMC 2500HD Duramax with 128k miles – noticed improvement in ride comfort immediately.
