Anyone use eshocks.com? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

suspect · 09-29-2012, 11:25 PM

Does anyone have opinions on this site? Any bad deals? They're offering 4 bilstein front/rear shocks for a c10 for $264, free shipping. I would like to take them up on this deal.

http://www.eshocks.com/bil_Ind.asp?VC=4Q81&SubChar=Q

Do we have any vendors offering deals like this?

Thanks.

Bought my Billys through them- great service, fast shipping, good product, and the best prices I could find. If there's a supporting vendor that can do all that and price match, go with them--otherwise, e-shocks was good to me...

thanks. I'm all about using our vendors first, but this deal is to good to pass up.

I ordered these 4 days ago online. I didn't have any issues. They also provided a tracking number, so that's a plus.

24-192941 are the fronts.

Also, thanks to lolife99. A couple months ago I asked a question about finding some other bilsteins, and he pointed out eshocks.com.

Are those the part numbers for front and rear 2wd coil spring by chance?

gringoloco · 10-04-2012, 09:27 PM

Yes, those are the correct numbers.

shawno72 · 10-04-2012, 09:48 PM

Will those work on a 5/7 drop

Maybe. They are slightly longer compressed than stock replacement Monroes. I have them ready to install on a similar drop, but will be relocating the upper mounts both front and rear to ensure they won't bottom out and are near the middle of their stroke at ride height.

The fronts are 15 1/2" extended - 10 1/2" compressed
rears are 18 1/2" extended - 12 1/2" compressed

I measured these with a tape measure while I compressed them, so they're not exact but a close idea. I may come up with exact measurements in my build once I get to making the relocation pieces.

I'm real happy with the travel these have. I'm running re7 bags front/rear. Tomorrow I'm going to start on building my front shock relocation mounts.
Then I'll check out SCOTI's post on doing the rear relocation and see if that's going to work for me.
I think these will work on a 5/7 truck. If you don't already have them, you can always mount the relocations. They should be a snap to make also.
