I'm now looking at the ad for Bilstein's new adjustable preload shock. It was my understanding that shock mounts were never designed to support the weight of a truck or car only dampen movement it as it absorbed the energy from the tire bounce and the kept the car or truck from moving rapidly up or down. Monroe use to have an overload shock with adjustable spring load that bent a lot of rear shock mounts on trucks. Thus, I'm pretty sure they don't carry it any more for that reason. Hell, the last time I saw one in a store was 10 or 12 years ago. I had an old F-150 that needed help. Believe it or not, the Monroe guy told me not to buy them. I thought at the time, "If the swindlers at Monroe advised against me buying something in there store, they've got to have some fault." I asked some other tech. about them and at the time they said "not good" and for the same reasons. So now, I give the keys to the flood gates to you, all my TTORA brothers and sisters. Give me the low down on your experience with; This new 5100 adjustable preload Bilstein product. Rude comments and bad jokes welcome! :welder:
