I recently changed out all my shocks to the bilsteins plus the steering stabilizer. They make a huge difference on the ride, especially after driving cross country. Check out the Bilstein USA website and they have a section for what application fits what with ride height info included.

4Wheel parts just happen to have a sale on Bilsteins and I picked them all up from them. One of the best upgrades to have on your rig.

bilesteins

I just put the bill's on my 2000 350 yesterday. I put on the 5100 series, they are for 2-3 in.lift in front and 0-1 in.lift rear. The shop tried some cheapo gabriels the first go around and they were junk. The bill's are awesome!!! Bought mine from shock warehouse, best price and free shipping, ordered on tuesday and had them on yesterday!!!

I had a set as well and loved them. I got mine from Suspension Connection. They are great to deal with as well as the Shock Warehouse. I have had good dealings with both companies.
