Hi, I've got a '13 Expy XLT. Other than a few batteries, 1 front and rear brake job, 1 new set of tires and 90K miles it hasn't cost me anything. I'm wondering if it is time for shocks, it seems like the body is starting to roll a little bit. I do tow a tandem axle boat trailer in the summer, about 5,000 Lbs. Thinking about billsteins all around. Any comments? Thanks

I'm on my second set of Bilstein 4600's and they work great. Stock shocks were done after 70k miles, first set of Bilsteins lasted ~150k miles. Just replaced them last week with 182k on the truck. Ride is much firmer and solid again.

I went with the 5100's - which provide adjustable height. I am not currently towing anything but hated the stock suspension. It will definitely raise the back end - even at stock setting. I ended up adding a 2" front lift kit as I set the front at stock also. While I could go back and adjust the front it was such a pain in the ass to install I just paid a shop to add the lift kit. Somewhere I have pics of stock and Bilstein to show difference in length.

I had to change my fronts at 30k! Monroes were reasonable and I did it my driveway!Just get complete units, springs and mounts included, can't go wrong!
