Ok so I added a 2.5 " leveling kit and 33" Mickey ATZ's, on 20" XD Spy's, the truck rides like a hay wagon as I have factory struts up front. Can some one post a link to the Bilsteins that would give me a decent ride on and off road? Much appreciated.


Also I'd love to post a pic but cant figure out how.

Pics.. upload in Photobucket or other account. Copy URL and then come into your post and click on the earthlink icon at the top of these boxes. Insert your URL and your done. Now let's see your ride!

 

33" tires on 20" wheels, I don't think ANY shock is going to give you a decent ride off-road, just nowhere near enough sidewall to give any flex...

 

^^^^ I see where you are going Hammer, but i think right now it was a comparison of stock ride height/quality to lifted ride quality with stock struts.
Stock struts are less than plausable on a stock height ride as is. Forget about any quality after being lifted. Your losing 2.5" of shock movement. i would think any offroading would demolish the stock shocks/struts whatever you wanna call them as well as any feasible ride quality.

 

Thank you for the response however the link didnt work....

 

Even a better on road ride would be GREAT! i have 65k on the truck with factory struts, I'm sure they are whopped by now.

 

Ok so I found a solution... I'm going to look at an 09 tomorrow. Since the dealership is an hour away I dont now if theres a Sunburst Orange with my name on it. Once i get there and theres one there I'll probably bring er home.

 

man thats a good looking truck as is if anything keep the wheels and tires and put them on the 09 now that would be a sick lookin rig

 

Ok well the only 09 that was to be had was the Maroon with the grey on the bottom. Not for me so i started calling EVERYWHERE and low and behold, the Bilstein IFS (06+) struts were released yesterday. I got some at www.shoxx.com and they will be here thursday. Hopefully they make life liveable again. Ill let yall know how the ride has improved or gotten worse.
