well.... between me and my brother, we know everything in the world, unfortunatly..this little tid bit of info is the part my brother knows... :lol:
Ill tell you what, I have never heard that all shocks are bilstiends, this would bascly assume that Bilstien owns ever other shock company in the world and is producing the same parts ad selling them under a different name... now that being said, if that were the case than bilstien would have the market cornered and be capable of pice gouging. Furthermore, IF bilstiend had the market cornered like that it wouldnt take much to overturn it because even the biggest giant corperations (wal-mart) needs compitition. If there is no other shock companies out there making shocks, tell that kid that you and him need to start a shock making company bcause you will be filthy rich because you will e able to under cut the copitition...
Oh yea, and one more thing, you can find shocks on ebay for like $15 for these trucks, I guarentee those are NOT bilstiens... if they were, no one would be paying $300 to have the bilstien sticker plastered on there shock
