I'm looking to improve performance and handling around town. Our D isn't going to see any off road used, right now it rolls around so bad my wife gets sea sick.

I'd love to put on a set of 4600 Bilsteins and call it good, however Summit is out of stock on fronts for over a month and I'd like to have a matched set.

The only 'performance' shock I've used was a set of RS5000s on my old Toyota SR5, however they were very stiff, almost punishing.

Any input on shock selection?

I like Bilsteins. I would wait a month.

 

Bilsteins.. period!

 

X3 on the Bilsteins! They are made just 15 miles down the road from me in Hamilton, Ohio.
The going rate for a set of 4 seems to be in the $300 range shipped.
Lifetime warranty, and the D will ride the way it should have from the day it rolled out of Newark.

I ended up having to do the swap within a week after making the original post due to an unexpected road trip. There's a Napa store directly across the street from my work, I purchased a set of Napa branded shoc (Tenneco / Rancho) - I told the counterman I wanted their top of the line product, and he insisted this was their first line.

Absolute junk. Both original shocks on the driver's side were blown, no damping until 1/3 stroke and yet there was little to no difference in ride quality after installing the Napa branded shocks . After the road trip, I spoke with the store manager... no, the Napa branded shock is not their first line, nor would he recommend them for a vehicle that weighed as much as the Durango. We cut a deal, I ended up with Munroe Reflex shocks on all 4 corners. It sucked having to the do the job twice, but the ride is fantastic, Mrs. is very pleased and therefor so am I. Truck feels solid without a harsh ride.
