Default Bilstein Shocks

This has been discussed before but I can't locate Bilstein shocks for the 2006 model Rams. I remember reading they weren't available at this time.

Recently I thought someone here wrote they were now available and had them on order?

This brings up two questions, are they available and have they improved the ride quality on the 2006 Rams?

yes you heard right i put them on and they are a great improvement over stock. the part# are the same for the 2004 models. i checked with bilstein before i bought them. the suspension was changed slightly on the 2006 but shocks remain the same

Do the new shocks prevent the "Floating effect" at speeds above 70?

the truck is planted to the road pretty good. turning is also better without all the leaning in corners

Sabs, did you replace all 4 shocks, or just the rears? Do you have part numbers?

Thanks
