Smile New Shocks!!!

Just ordered new shocks for my truck today!! After many searches of comparing different types of shocks, I decided to go with the Bilstein HD's, no lift. I am hoping they will make the ride a little smoother in my truck. I have read that they really make a big difference as far as ride, anyone else heard this too??

Great choice. The only aftermarket shocks I'd ever consider putting on a truck are Rancho's or Bilstein's...

Well new shocks are always a plus...

I got the Bilstein HD's +2" about 6 months ago...no real difference but did give me the extra I needed for the small lift. Front doesn't skip as much as stock though!

Please, at almost 7000 posts, I bet you could take about 20 of them and just keep recycling them after I'm dead and buried. Nobody would know the difference...
