i like how my 06 work truck rides, it has the FX4 with Rancho's. i just put on 5100 series bilsteins on my lift, but i havent driven it yet, and i hope i will like them, they sure were expensive enough!

Josh you did good, I use lots of Fox, Kings and Bilsteins, everything from the stock replacement Yellows, which in my opinion are the best stock replacement shock available for a truck/motorhome chassis of any size, on up to the 5100's, 5150's, and 7100's. I have NEVER had a problem with a Bilstein, or had to return one for warrantee.

PW... the gas pressure shocks available for trucks from Monroe or Gabriel are mediocre at best, I won't even use those brands for a passenger car anymore. With all the weight you are dragging around, you need a quality shock. The Bilsteins have a lifetime warrantee, but you will never need it, they will outlast the truck in most cases.
