24-187435 Shock

I installed these on a 2020 Chevy Express 3500 cargo van. I carry roughly a 1000 lbs at all times in tools and parts. I did not replace the rear shocks yet. I will do those later. Taking off the front shocks was going to be a pain, the post on the shock was rusted. I turned the nut just enough so I can get my Sawzall in there and cut it off. My van had about 100k on the original shocks. All I can say, is what a difference, worth the money. Hitting dips on the highway is no where near how many times the front-end porpoises. I also did an alignment at fire stone for $120. I also rotated the front tires from left to right to get rid of the chop in the tire. The tire noise is much quieter now after a few hundred miles.

We finally decided to upgrade our RV shocks. Our motorhome only has 27K miles but the stock shocks are just horrible. It should be illegal for them to sell these large vehicles with such bad stock suspension. What we didn't realize is what a difference these make. I decided to install the front shocks yesterday and did it myself. It was really pretty easy and I was able to install each side in about 30 minutes. If you are reasonably mechanically inclined - save some money and do it yourself. We have not done the rear yet, but will do that next week when the shocks come in. With just the new front shocks, the ride was much smoother, less bounce and roll. My wife and I were pretty amazed. Would definitely recommend these for your RV. You won't be disappointed!

I have a 2013 Chevrolet Express 4500 chassis class C motorhome (RV). It has ~90k on the odometer and the front when driving would bounce and "porpoise" like crazy going down the highway. I did a bunch of research and honestly found very little about solving the problem. We have a heavy duty/commercial chassis shop that works on delivery, tractor/trailer/semi and RVs near me. When i talked to them they said the shocks wouldn't make a different and we needed to "add a leaf" to the rear to keep more weight on the front wheels.I have a fair amount of experience with suspension setup and maintenance over the years of HPDE/track days and autocross, so I know enough about handling characteristics to know that they were only partially correct by suggesting I increase the rear spring rate.I decided to buy a pair of the "24-187435", which fit my 4500 chassis perfectly. The old shocks were NOT leaking or blown, to my surprise. I was worried as I suspected they would be given how bad the front was bouncing. Well, after installing the Bilsteins, i am happy to report the bouncing is all but completely eliminated with the RV empty of fresh water. We have a 3200mile road trip coming up next week, so I'll update the review after we get back.1/31/23 updateThe shocks reduced porpoising probably by half, but it still bounces. Honestly, it probably needs even stiffer shocks.

Installed on 2019 Chevrolet Express 2500 high top van that had real handling issues. These shocks markedly improved the handling! Tried KYBs before and they did nothing...

Wow, what a difference in the ride. My 2004 Chevy Express still had the stock front shocks on it until last month. Had I known however many years ago what I know now, I would've bought these beauties however many years ago. I would say they are easy to do, but I just watched, and it was at a car dealership so we had a vehicle lift. Had to torch the old bolts off, but my professional mechanic Mike had both done in under an hour. Lifetime warranty, so if it comes down to junking the van or it gets totaled in an accident, I'm keeping these!!

I don't normally write reviews, but I felt I should for this one. I bought these shocks to be installed on a Thor Fourwinds 22e Motorhome, that sits on a 2019 Chevy Express 3500 Chassis. It fixed the front end proposing problem, and made the coach manageable. I think it took longer for me to find the tools to install the shocks, then it did to install them. Perfect fit.

The ride on our 2016 Savana 3500 is notably better as far as the "cushion" of the ride however the "bouncy" is pretty bouncy. Maybe this is just how it is supposed to be, I do realize it's not a high performance machine. So I have to go with a 4 stars better than OEM =) ...... way better than OEM, just a little like driving a boat. I've been told the KYB brand is a little stiffer however I don't know if they make products for this vehicle and I had already ordered these.

If your like me and have a 3500 GM cargo van with a couple hundred thousand miles on it with the original shocks, you won’t regret buying these! So much smoother ride. I honestly didn’t think replacing the shocks alone would help as much as it did. Bilstein is the best!
