Bilstein part # question

[dszx13]

Bought these for a steal. Guy claims they fit 99-06 1500. Anyways. All 4 have the same number. I can’t find it anywhere online. Anyone have a set they can look at to help me out?

Not sure what to say, but that part number brings up a steering stabilizer. [emoji15]

I should say, that is what I found on another forum, so that’s not coming from Bilstein.

At first I was thinking, that looking at that S they look fake..

Found this:

Stamped: 031932 F355 T0
Sticker: F4 BE5-F355-T0
Bottom worked on the cross reference........came out to this actual PN 33-185545...gonna double check later this evening on the measurements
Which you should be able to verify on the stamping on the tube...


According to rockauto.com That part # comes up with
https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/bilstein,33185545,shock+absorber,7556

FORD EXCURSION 2000-2005
FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY 1999-2004
FORD F-350 SUPER DUTY 1999-2004




I would check the stamping on the tube, and try to cross reference that number. It doesn't look the same.

That would soooo suck if they were for a ford.

Might be a newer version of that shock.. Still not convincing. I think I would try contacting bilstein and see what they say. We have a couple suspension focused vendors who might be able to answer this one.

I sent them an email last night. Just waiting on a reply.

My 5100 front shocks don't look anything like that. They don't have a "ring" on the upper end as they go into a shock tower and are then secured with a nut.
