Bilsteins for the win!
Just installed the Bilstein part numbers:
BE5-2815-H0 fr
BE5-2816-H1 rr
and love the firmer ride they give. I used to feel like the front tires were boucing while driving at hwy speeds, probably why my front tires keep cupping and the rears look great, but not anymore. Should also help with the rear end "oscillation" I used to get at times with my 5th-wheel attached. The truck feels solid and planted on the road, but not harsh, just very firm. I like it and recommend them to anybody wanting to change their shocks.
BTW, got them from eshocks.com, great prices ($280.00 for all 4) and had them in my hands 3 days later with their free shipping.

Well one reason I want the bilsteins is the fact shocks is what they do! sure I can get some shocks from a lift kit company, but I feel a company like bilstein that pretty much only does shocks knows what they are doing.

Call shockwarehouse.com, they helped me do the research and get me set of shocks that would work for my 2wd lift....which is hard enough to find shocks for.

Try calling and see if something in the 5125 series will work.
