I think that's a generous offer which has already been duplicated here a few times already.

So, since the numbers don't match the current Bilstein numbers, I presume you removed your OEM shocks and replaced them with FSD's?

I removed the OEM shocks with the Bilsteins. The Bilsteins were far better than the OEM shocks but a little hard on the ride. I then read about the Konis and all the raves from everyone who tried them. So I removed the almost new Bilsteins and replaced them with the Konis. I am very happy with the Konis but they aren't cheap. So now I have a set of Bilsteins that are just sitting in my garage. If you or anyone with a Workhorse chassis would like them I will gladly ship them to you. Just pay for the shipping costs and be sure they will fit your chassis.

I gave my Bilstein's to a friend who is a head mechanic and was a little hard up for cash at the time. He tried selling them at flea markets and ebay but finally gave up. I am not sure where they are today.
