Great shocks, good product line
The ride is incredible, after another brand Rancho 5000 the ride is no where comparable. These are night and day difference. I’ve not tried them off road yet, in the city they are smooth. However, the roads are almost like off roading. The stabilizer seems more responsive too. Hope the stainless steel holds up. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting the best quality, fit, easy of installation, great price point too.

Exactly what my truck needed to steer like new again
My 2003 GMC 2500 had a tendency to “hunt” going down the road, small bumps would disrupt the tracking and the steering felt over boosted and light, had an alignment done but no resolution. My truck still had the original stabilizer on it. the truck only has 80,000 miles. but the stabilizer was shot. the new Bilstein stabilazer resolved all three issues. Installation is straight forward, if you have basics mechanical reasoning and ability it’s a fairly simple job (if your vehicle is subject to salt and rust you’ll want penetrating oil) You’ll need to reuse the anchor end bolt the stabilizer comes with new pivot end nylock nut and washer. Took about an hour to install and you’ll need a pickle fork ball joint tool.Truck now drives like it used to and the steering is a pleasure again.

Great quality product!!
Not sure what the issue is with some of these other reviews I have read about making their vehicle pull to the right and such. I have not experienced this and it leads me to wonder if they ordered th right part for their vehicle, or installed it correctly. This product is heavy duty and made with quality, just as the rest of their products. Immediately noticed a much better ride quality, smooth steering, no more vibrations through the steering wheel, stiffend the steering, and truck no longer drifts from side to side, or pulls when hitting a dip or such. Highly recommend for replacement of steering stabilizer.

Dropped right in, does NOT pull to the right.
'Completed a 4-wheel brake job on my 2003 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Duramax and noticed that the old and worn steering stabilizer appeared to be an aftermarket item, installed with "U" and "L" brackets. Research revealed that it was in fact, a KYB aftermarket unit. Being that my truck is shod with Bilstein 6100 series shocks on all four corners (which has performed flawlessly), I decided to get this one to complete the set.....without reading the reviews as I usually do. So I was shocked to read the negative reviews "after" installing the unit last night. I did notice that I had to compress the stabilizer about 3 inches to get it to line up with the outboard mounting bracket hole so if that's what y'all mean by a positive charge, I understand now. Fast forward and I'm at work this morning after a short, 8-mile run on the freeway but have noticed no adverse steering effects and certainly no pulling to the right whatsoever. I do notice however, that my steering is now a lot smoother, there's absolutely no steering wobble, the truck tracks like it's on a rail even after hitting those pesky bumps and pot holes on the freeway, AND as a bonus, the Bilstein eliminated some annoying, turning squeaks which I thought was just due to an old, aged suspension(the annoying squeaks, which to my surprise was caused by the old KYB unit!). So I don't understand why it worked as advertised for me and not everyone else?? I really feel for the guys that didn't get the result they were expecting. Bottom line: This Bilstein Steering Stabilizer just dropped right in, was the easiest/fastest upgrade I've done to date, does not pull to the right and absolutely makes my steering feel solid and safer especially at higher, sustained freeway speeds!

Smoothed steering out, steers like butter now. Fitment is ok.

Steering feels new again
Had death wobbles at 50 mph, with this now the shakes are all gone and my steering wheel stays completely straight when I go through bumps. Definitely worth the money. P.S. getting the OEM stabilizer off is pretty difficult, it took me a while but installing was like butter.

The Best
I have an 06 Chevy LBZ 3500. Back in 2023 I replaced the stock stabilizer with a Monroe model. I recently had my front end rebuilt with an alignment and had a wobble/vibration in the front end afterwards. This vibration was in the front end before the work, but after the repairs it lessened a lot. I talked to my mechanic and he said he wouldn’t think it would cause that much vibration since the shock still had positive pressure. I decided to go with my gut and order a Bilstein this time around to see if it would fix my issue. After installing, it 100% took care of my issue. These are high, but worth every penny. The quality is unmatched and the steering is crazy smooth now. Don’t buy the cheap stabilizer get this one. No my truck did not pull to the right after installing.
