Shocks for 2012 dually

[sagebel]

After searching the forum it looks like the Fox 2.0 and Bilstien 5100 or 5160 is the way to go for SRW trucks. My dually spends most of the week on pavement and weekends in fields and dirt roads. Empty during the week and loaded on weekends.

What is the difference between the two and where is the best deal?

I'd have to say that unless you're really planning on beating the suspension, go with the 5100s. You have to be real rough on the 5160s to heat up all the oil in their reservoirs to make them worth the extra money.

No purposeful beating on the suspension, just the occasional dead furrow that I sometimes fail to see.

Then, no reason to pay the extra coin for the 5160s, unless of course, you want the cool factor of dual pistons.
