Jesus ya not even considering lol. It's just the basic name brands dont have custom options to accomdate the extra 2" it has now that's why I was looking at bilsteins overall I want something that's gonna hopefully ride better aswell then what's in there now
[QUOTE=armynurse;3473557]My truck is lifted 2" also front-and-back. I'm running Bilstein 5100 series shocks, and have been happy with them. They're not that expensive.
Nice looking truck! Mine pretty much sits like that to. I was looking into the 5100s . So your happy with them? Will I notice a better ride then the monroes in there?

Thanks! The color is 2015 Corvette Shark Gray.
And yes - I have been happy with them. They ride nice (not too firm and not too soft in my opinion), and since the shock bodies are aluminum, I don't have to worry about them rusting like I did with the previous white-bodied Rancho 5000 shocks that were on there. Everybody's butt responds differently to shocks. Some like a soft ride, others like the ride a little firmer. Do you drive it on dirt roads/off-pavement, or does it never leave asphalt? Those things come in to play when choosing shocks. My truck likes to go out and play sometimes - and thank God for the true-tracks front and rear.
Did a quick search to see what they're running for nowadays... Looks like about $80.00 each. I'm sure if you shop around you might find them cheaper.
