Ok I'm not sure if my truck has had the shocks replaced, don't know the service history. But I'll take that in consideration. What shocks did you end up replacing the factory ones with?
On the body roll, don't count the shocks out. My truck did not bounce over humps and bumps either. But I decided to change them anyway. Found 2 of them would compress very easily, then 5 mins to decompress on their own. Another was weak and last was so so. These were the factory shocks at 50k mi. Replaced them and a much better ride and less roll on corners.

Are these the Monroe shocks?:

I saved these bilstein in my watchlist on eBay for a possible future upgrade, but without really knowing how good they would perform on the truck:

Yes, first link is Monroe's. that's what I have. Not sure how they compare, never used Bilstein. This is where I picked mine up at: http://www.autopartstomorrow.com/que...dth_class=full

Alright, know the place, but haven't bought anything from the before. Thanks for the tip. Anywhere else you can recommend for oem parts?

No mine has the RB1 Navigation unit in it. But I'm seriously considering to just go for an aftermarket unit, maybe the Pioneer AppRadio 3. Anyone have recommendations on 2-din units?
