Default got my bilsteins!!0_o

horray after like 3 months of waiting on 4wheel parts, they finally got them in, and gave me free shipping but i only got the fronts i guess the rears are comin later...just so everyone knows, they ride HELLA better. i expected them to a little bit but not this much, the truck doesent dive when i slalom left n right, goes over known bumps without shuttering my fillings out, probably one of the better mods ive done . i cant even imagine how its going to be with the rears in, ill get pics up tmr its 8 0 clock n it started raining

Edit: finally got the pics up, see last post

well on my truck i didint, (2500) the shock towers are right in the engine bay, all i had to do was take off 5 nuts n washers n they were out, i suspect ur should be similar, the rears are a gonna be a lil easier just 2 bolts n there out

Thumbs up

I got Bilstein shock under front of my truck today. WOW sooo much better. I had terrible clunk noice in my suspension. Now its gone and the ride is like day and night. If i knew how much better it was i would have put it on when i bought the truck new. I give those shocks 10 out of 10
