7100 Bilstein's

[ScanmanSteven]

Does anyone know if any of the vendors stock Bilstein with the 360/80 valving? I've had some on order for over a month and Poly Performance has no idea when they'll ship. I'd like to go to OCBR but really think I should have shocks, lol. Any other brands worth trying?

I got mine from eshocks.com. I know it sounds cliché but it's really a store front for "Don's Sport Vehicle Sales". They had all the sizes I needed in stock, they were the cheapest I could find, and shipping was ultra fast. And they are clearly authentic Bilsteins from the boxes all the way down to the stamping on the housings.

Be sure to find the part number for the size you need then cross reference it in on the Bilstein US website. I struggled to find the rear shocks I needed anywhere in stock only to learn that the part number I was looking for had been superseded by a more common number available nearly everywhere.. Same shock, different part number..

I ordered mine in may!!!!!!! Still nothing. I have called every two weeks since then. They have called manny times to bilstein and they keep saying that a certain part is still on back order. ?:?

have you tried lee at raceshock.com?

That's where I bought mine. If Bilstein is out of stock of the 7100's, Lee will tell you what's going on with them. He's a one man operation, so call and leave a message more than once.

Lee can even build you shocks or revalve some if need be. Top notch service!

Update. We called and ordered shocks from Eshocks today. Had them in stock, shipping today! Thanks XCNTRK for the eshock tip. They also suggested I use 275/55 valving on the rear.

I've dealt with eshocks in the past, their store is about 10 miles from me and they seem like pretty decent people in person, I asked about a couple differant shocks for my bronco and they were able to check stock instantly, all in stock at their warehouse(not drop shipped) and I could have any of them the next day.

No problem, glad it worked out. I too got the tip from this forum and am just paying it forward

This is good news to me!! Im going to call them today, and maybe i will have front shocks on my truck.

Which 7100s did you guys order for the bronco?

 

[dieselbronco]

Update! Looks like scanman got the last ones that eshock had in stock. They also called bilstein and was told that they are still waitting for the tubes or something to make the shocks with. Eshock also looked high and low for a commparable shock but had little luck. I guess i will go back to the waitting list%)

another option you have is watch craigslist or ebay and have them rebuilt.
