Bilstein's for a 2003 ?

Post by ace »

I checked the Bilstein website and their application data only goes up to 2001. Does anyone know for sure that the B46-1410 fits a 2003?

Check their website for the part number and a 2001 extended cab 4 WD will work on the CCs. I went with the HD. To the best of our knowledge they will fit. Do a search here for bilstiens and you should get a part number if. you distrust the biltien site :wink:

I looked at that thread but when I looked at the bilstein website it only goes up to the model year 2001 for those part numbers. I don't think their was any differences between the 01 and the 03 years but just wanted to make sure before ordering.

Just laziness on their part. A 2001 part number will apply to your suspension related quest.

Just remember that is for suspension parts only. The are many subtle engine and programing differences in some areas.

I just desire to make sure that I don't leave any openings for preemptive strikes that have become more frequent here and other forums.

I hear ya, I just wanted to make sure before getting the whole front end apart and find their was one of those subtle changes and their was different part number for 2002 and on. Thanks.

I got my part numbers off of their website. I did not check the numbers listed above. I think most of us with Bilstiens got the HD shocks.
