Operation Bilstein!

Got some new shocks for the truck! I'd say $266 shipped to my door for a complete set of Bilsteins was a pretty good price. driving on smooth roads i don't really notice any difference over the old Monroes, but on ROUGH roads they are a HUGE improvement. still rides like a 3/4 ton truck but it does not sound like the dash is going to fall in your lap or parts of the steering/suspension are going to fall off. so far i am happy with them!

Thanks guys!

the truck didn't ride all that bad on the old shocks. didn't realize how bad they were until i took them out and compressed them and they compressed like nothing and then one of the fronts would hardly even open back up on it's own.
