Great stuff and a happy ending.

Which shocks did you go with?

I think I am going to go with the Bilsteins. I was seriously considering the Ranchos and WE3ZS has had great things to say about them. It really came down to a price thing. I have found the Bilsteins for a total of $297.00. I don't see the Ranchos being worth that extra cost. Hopefully I won't regret my decision down the road....

Yeah, I wouldn't pay full price for the ranchos, they aren't that great. I luckily got mine while they had a stupid deal of $100 for all 4.

That is a nice deal. I get to use my mileage reimbursement from my company to buy the shocks but it is still coming out of my pocket one way or another. I should have them in next week and I have not decided yet if I want to put them on or have the shop do it.....I have gotten lazy lately.

I have the Bilstein 5100's and steering stabilizer. Works good for me. Need to get the rears eventually. Definitely help the truck feel planted.

I'll buy shocks if you come out and help me in MT. We have a nice greazy spoon in Zortman MT..nice concrete block construction-I'll even drive. You would have to stay out of trouble-it has the world's smallest jail

It's 30 miles in one direction. If we go 30 miles in the other direction, we have a deli with the world famous 16 inch weiner

No problem man. We actually changed our route for the trip home some what last minute. I hit up all the appointments on the route down there and figured I would go another way home and have my sale reps find me some more people to hit up in a few different markets.
