No bottoming out and when I "get air", it hasn't yanked out the shocks yet :-) No bouncing after railroad crossings and handles great (the Hellwig sway bar helps there). Twisties are lotsa fun! BTW, a level kit should reduce the chance of bottoming out -- you're starting with the shocks extended another two inches or so.

how much of a difference did a new sway bar make? and did you get fancy eurethane bushings?

06-08 1500 level kits are a spacer that sits on top of the coil over/strut assembly therefore a longer shock isn't needed since the spring and the shock are both relocated down 2.5". http://www.automotiveconcepts.net/st...medium=organic

On the 06-08 1500's, the 2.5 in leveling spacer should not change the shock travel at all from stock. The spacer bolts to the top of the entire strut assembly. However a Rancho or Bilstein will ride better than stock anyday

Then you're not asking for a longer shock, rather a quality aftermarket one with adjustable preload and rebound. I've been looking for something along those lines as well, that is until I can afford a Kore or Carli lift. Anyone know if Fox or bilstein make direct bolt in replacements, for those of us who have the struts, yet?
