Help choosing a Bilstein shock...

I am looking to get new shocks for my 2002 regular cab SWB 4.3. I have settled on Bilstein (unless someone here talks me out of it). But, I'm alittle confussed about which model I need, C or HD. My first priority is a smoooooth ride on bumpy roads around home. Reducing body roll, and diving would be nice, but I wouldn't sacrifice ride quality for either. I was thinking I wanted the C, but saw that the HD is by far the most popular choice. Is it a superior shock, or are most people just looking for different things than I am? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Help choosing a Bilstein shock...

Go to their website and make them write you an email explaining what the engineered differences are in layman terms.
The ZQ8 package I had on a 97 Sanoma had the heavy Bilsteins from the factory and the ride was awesome and kept those tires planted on the ground..... Good Luck

It was once explained to me that the light duty ones are OEM (sucks)and the HD are in fact heavy duty. I wouldn't bother with the stock ones, I also wouldn't bother with any other shock but the Bilstein HD

Sick is good! My truck is black, and I was thinking of going monochrome with a black painted grill, black chrome speed grille insert, and SS valance...those lights would just top it all off!
