WI OEM Bilstein shocks for K truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**DeadheadNM** · 06-13-2021, 01:11 PM

I just replaced the OE Bilstein shocks on my 99 K2500 suburban with a new set.

Offering the used shocks (42k original miles) for $25 plus fees and actual shipping cost (heavy). These worked when removed and I only replaced them because I found an original new set and was having an alignment and U bolt swap done. Added the new shocks at time the other work was done.

Will post pics if there’s an interest. Thanks.

What are the part numbers?

12474902 and 12474708

One of the blessings and curses of the Bilsteins is that they are so vehicle specific. I have half a mind to get these from you and swap out some of the worn out run of the mill ones that I've got. Even though they're not the right part number, they got to be close, right? Haha.

Check. I think these are correct for all K trucks 98-99 not sure what the differences are with the earlier examples or why.

Pete, what would it cost to ship these to 49087? You have any pictures of them? Thank you!

Sorry, I would if I could but these are gone.

No problem. Thanks.

The problem with Bilsteins is they only come for stock trucks. My '95 Suburban has cranked up torsion bars and it requires +2" and Bilstein couldn't help me. The shocks are universal being traditional eye holes both ends

The Bilsteins work fine - the problem is the lift

That is not true at all… my K2500 with a 6” lift has Bilsteins all the way around.
