I have a 2.5" Hell Bent Steel leveling kit and I purchased the Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks (which are set to 0) from Shockwarehouse.com. They were doing a buy 3 get 1 free sale. It's a night and day difference.

One of my friends put it "best"... "It's like riding on a cloud made of feathers."

You can get Ranchos without the leveling option. Just buy the normal RS9000 Strut not the quick lift. I did mine with Ranchos (the RS9000s front and back) and I love them. I have had the truck offroad a couple times since buyign them and I like that I can dial them down to get better performance offroad.
