Talking I love new parts...

Came home today to a nice surprise, my bilstein's came in!!! Got them on the truck in about an hour to hour and a half, and got it down to the shop down the road to redo the alignment. Gotta say the truck feels like its bran new again, and oddly seems like its sitting a little higher than it was before, probably just my imagination (or my old stock shocks were really that bad)... I love them though!!!

How much did they cost? I'm wondering if mine are going to need to be replaced sometime soon. Definitely when I get a leveling kit though.

They were a little over a hundred a piece after tax, so just over $450 total after shipping.

I eneded up taking the wife out to run some arrands last night and she even thinks its sitting a little higher up cause she's having a hard time getting in again like she did when I first bought it.
