My brother went through 3 sets of Bilsteins on his toyota truck in just a couple years, not impressed. They bleed all over the place. No harsh driving either.

Perhaps Biilstein produced a bad batch of that specific shock, good thing they come with a lifetime warranty and are rebuildable.

I have yet to see such issues with Ford F-150 and Super Duty spec Bilsteins. Just years and years of great performance and trouble-free operation.
