Eshocks.com has the bilstien 5100 for 303$. Great customer service. I've used them for years and never been unhappy.

 

Is my ride in the rear just gonna be rough with the AAL no matter what? I can live with it, sure. But If I can do something to get some ride back it'd be nice too haha.

 

Well after some looking around I have decided to order the Rough Country N2.0 shocks. My buddy has them on his Sierra with a 3.5" lift and they ride pretty good after about a year. And they seem to have good reviews. Picked up all 4 for $188 shipping included. Also they have a lifetime warranty, so I can't beat that price and warranty. Hope they are as good as I hope! Ordered my plenum from Hughes too, gonna get it done hopefully this weekend if I get it all. Thanks for the input guys

 

Pretty much.

I found that having around 500 pounds of weight in the bed smoothed out the ride some.... 1000 pounds make it ride like a cadillac. Of course, gas mileage suffered.

 

Well shoot haha. I can't afford to lose any mpg! Hopefully my new plenum will fix that. My shocks come in this Friday and plenum on Monday. I'll let you guys know my impression of the RC N2.0s!

 

You could do a shackle flip! Get like 4in of lift and it turns your shackle upside down putting the leaf springs in the "not compressed" setting vs the compressed setting they are in now.

Ever dodge truck made after the second gens comes like that stock. Minus the 4in lift lol

 

I don't think I'll do the shackle flip. My rear already sits up higher than the front haha, but I just got my shocks in today! Look good, seem like they are well built. Putting them on early tomorrow!

 

Got em on! Ride a bit stiffer than I thought, but not bad! Happy with them so far. Check them out
