Help: Identify this Bilstein shock - 33186542H7

[9mmkungfu]

I bought a lightly used pair of Bilstein 5100 shocks that were supposed to fit my 2002 GMC 2500HD w/ 7" lift. However, they don't appear to fit, and I'm not able to find much information on them. The part number on the shock bodies themselves is 33186542H7 and when I spoke with Bilstein US, they cross-referenced it with the superseded part number 24-065429. When I search for the earlier part number, I get no information. When searching for the latter, I get 2001-2004 Audi A6/2001-2005 Volkswagen Passat fitment.

Any ideas?

Can you post a pic of the shock/numbers?
Could it be a case of mistaken # like a 3-8 6-8?

Yep, I sure can when I get home. Right now, I do have two pics, but they only show the shock body itself and the first string of numbers (0519123). I was informed by Bilstein this first string of numbers is not the part number though.

Here is what I have for now. It only let me upload one photo so I'll try another post for the second photo.

Edited: It won't let me upload any more photos.

Photos are probably too large. Resize them and try again.

Resizing did it. Yeah, the part number on the shock is definitely what I had mentioned before. The 3s are clearly 3s and the 8 is clearly an 8.

What’s it off of? If you can get me open/closed lengths and pic of both ends I can locate a correct number. That is most likely a proprietary number for a company specific shock, it’s not a Bilstein number.

Thanks for that. I am not really sure. I thought it was off of / for my 2002 GMC 2500HD w/ 7-9" lift. But it didn't bolt up on one end. Here is a pic of the shock, end to end.
