Bilstein Front Shocks for 2001 - Part Number?
I am replacing my front shocks on my 2001. I currently have some Bilstein Front Shocks on the car which I installed about 14 years ago and the Part Number on them is F4-BE5-2975-HO. The new Replacement Bilstein Shocks I ordered have a different part number of 24-029759 and the description says 4600 Heavy Duty Shocks. Are these both the Heavy Duty shocks (with just a new part number) or are my older shocks something other than the "Heavy Duty"?

Hmmm...this page shows the old and new part numbers for a Silverado:
Bilstein 24-029025 Front 4600 Heavy Duty (B6) Shock Absorber Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Silverado 1500 Classic GMC Sierra 1500, Sierra 1500 Classic - Shockwarehouse.com
I'm thinking the 2975 is the one you want in the first link I sent you. Looks like you have the Heavy Duty not the Sport. Heavy Duty ones go with the stock springs.

It appears that the Dealership may have damaged my front shocks in 2008 when they replaced my engine. I noticed at the time they did not remove them during the replacement and the blue covers were completely compressed for a couple weeks while in the shop.
