Default RT vs. SLT + suspension

I have an 01 5.9L 4x4 SLT+. I was doing some upgrades and wanted to give it a little sport in the handling department. So poly bushing, a quality shock, Bilsteins and maybe some RT wheels and tires. Problem is Bilstein has the same shock for the RT as the SLT. Went to dealer and torsion bar and rear leafs are the same also. That being said since mine has both front and rear sway what is the so called performance tuned suspension difference between the RT and other Durango that that Dodge claims.

Anyone find a shock better than the Steins for street driving?

Same suspension. The R/T nowadays is marketing, not performance.

Get yourself a set of the Hotchkis sways if you really want a better ride:

Yeah my 00' didn't have bilsteins so I upgraded after a Midas brought it to my attention that my stockers were dead after my brake change...
