Shock Questions

Alright here in Canada we had a big snowfall over night(similar to some American states I'm sure). So the streets are covered in ice and slush and ruts. While driving it seems as if the suspension is so loud and clunky. Is this just a matter of the ice build up under the truck, the hard ice ruts, or is there possible shock issues? It just seems to rattle the truck that it feels like I am driving an old stone wagon..

Another question I wanted to ask to all of those who put leveling kits on their trucks. How has the front end held up? Are you finding that you are starting to have joint issues, or knuckle issues?

Took the truck to the shop. Turns out the control arms need to be replaced.

Has anyone installed the Bilstien shocks yet? It is something I have been looking in to.
