Default Anyone else notice what our Bilsteins fit?

A little research revealed that the BE5-C153-HO Bilsteins for the front of our trucks is the same shock used in the late 90's to mid 2000's chevy 1500's? Alot cheaper on sites other then Cognito

Are these the exact same shocks that come with the cognito set up?

save about 50 bucks if I just order the two shocks from there instead

Those aren't them. Trailduty has them for $89.95 a shock and Phil has great customer service.

or allshock has them for $79.95 a shock, which is Bilsteins main retailer online

I called bilstein and they said they were not the same. Has anyone contacted Trailduty to check and see.

Hope to hear soon. I have been itching to level my 3 out.
