No Pictures????? I'm dying here!

Glad to hear they worked. I am ordering mine this week. Come on payaday

Also, could you give me part numbers, I do not see any fronts for stock height, no lift. Maybe the http://www.sdtrucksprings.com/index....ducts_id=10576 would work. I don't know though.

I just installed Bilstein 24-186018 and 24-186025 on my F350 DRW. They fit fine and the specs say 0"-1" and 0"-2" lift, so I figure I'm 0".

[QUOTE=JcF204;11173220]Going down the highway, I get a bounce from the front end on the concrete surface. Sometimes it gets pretty obnoxious. I don't believe it is death wobble, just bouncy on the cement.

Concrete roads are know for this. Let me guess 4x4 4 door long bed. I have same thing.

I guess I'm overdue for a report, so I replaced the shocks all around with bilstein 5100's and did the TGC bilsten dual steering stabilizer about 3 weeks ago and the truck rides great now, bump steer is virtually gone especially on the highway. probably one of the best mods I have ever done to this truck. Those junk ford ranchos are just plain horrible!

Here is my update, ordered them and installed the fronts yesterday, the rears did not come until late yesterday after I put all my tools away etc.

First impression is really good. The truck seems tighter and much more responsive. I will get the rear ones done asap. The old shocks were the black stock ones, not the stamped Ranchos. They were also toast. I collapsed them and they never went back...
