I just installed Bilstein HD's on my 05 Silverado Z71. On one day of driving my first response is they are much better than stock, but stock was some red made in Mexico shock.
Bilstein HD's are a little firmer but handle better and take rough patches better.

My truck had a very harsh ride with those shocks, but with the Bilsteins it was responsive.

Bilstein HD's here too. I noticed a small improvement in ride quailty but the handling is much better. The body roll is minimal now. I highly recommend the HD's for their handling performance.

so i'm thinking about possibly cranking my t-bars up 1" max when i get my next tires. when i talked to the shock warehouse guy about it, he recommended moving up to the 5100s up front because they're longer, but he said the HDs would probably be fine up to 1" crank. has anybody else run HDs with a small crank? how did they work for you?

Get the front & rear 5100, they look a lot better than the yellow
