If you dont have a set on your truck...... you should get some. They are pretty awesome. I just put the Bilstein HD series on my 2500 today, and boy do they make a huge difference. The ride is amazing! HUGE improvement over the stocks with 76k on them. The install was fairly easy too. 3 nuts on each shock up front, and 2 on each one in the rear. all i needed was a jack, some stands, and basic wrench and socket set.

 

Bilsteins or Ranchos have been the only two shock brands I've purchased for about seven 4x4s owned over the last 22 years. To me, those are the only two brands there are...

 

i was thinking bout replacing the stock ranchos with like 84k on them with these anyone herd anything bout these http://www.4wheelparts.com/Lift-Kits-Suspensions-Shocks/2-0-Series-Bushing-w-Reservoir.aspx?t_c=1&t_s=90&t_pt=100662&t_pl=10028

 

wow, wouldnt you know it. no more than 2 hours after im done putting my new shocks in, my 2.5" leveling kit shows up at the door. just my luck. i wasnt expecting it to show up for a while.

i guess now i have a project for tomorrow... then ill have gotten tires, shocks and a level all in one weekend. will update with pics when done.

 

ok, got my new tires, new shocks, and now my leveling kit on. LOOKS FANTASTIC! ill take some pics after i get back from my alignment. btw, my tires are roughly 34/11.50/17. they fit on my 2500 without the leveling kit with no rubbing, but looked kinda cheesy. now my truck looks like a real truck!

 

cant wait for pics...
