Bilstein Shocks
Hey y'all, first time post here. I've got a '66 W200, and I'm looking to upgrade the shocks. Specifically, looking at the Bilstein B8 5100 series. Truck is not lifted, stock, and I'm running 33" BFG's on her. There's currently old ranchos on it, it's a pretty rough ride. Haven't had much luck seeing any chatter about Bilsteins in the forums, nor much luck seeing my particular truck on other websites when shopping for them. So, any advice would be appreciated. The truck gets the street but she gets dirty too. Cheers.

think any w200 is a rough ride

Re: Bilstein Shocks
you are right, the only time my 69 W200 rides half way decent, is when I have a ton of rock in the bed, just the nature of the beast.
