    Freaking Billstein Shock

    I heard a rattle a couple of days ago and yesterday I finally looked under my truck.......BROKEN billstein shock piston (the chrome bar with a nut at the end). Thankfully, it hasn't gone through the bed(yet).

    Questions:

    Can I just take it off for a week or 2 until I order some other ones?

    Should I take off the passenger side too, being that I might have to replace both?

    Does anyone have any good ideas about where to buy new shocks, they dont have to be Billsteins?

    Any used shocks for sale?

    I have shock extenders with a 2" rear drop.

    Thanks, a bunch

    check if shocks can be replaced under Bilstein's lifetime warranty.

    Ordered Djm With 5/8" Shaft
    Billsteins Have A 9/16" Shaft
    Where The Belltechs Only Have A 1/2" Shaft....

    Since I Broke The Shaft I Updated It First.
