Thanks! yes, mine is the red one. I don't think you'll go wrong with any of the systems running the Bilstein shocks if you do mostly city driving.
It all changes when the pavement ends. I just drove over 200 miles of washboard/dirt/gravel roads in the Mojave Desert and my truck seemed
to ride better the faster I went. My motocross buddies were impressed that my truck could soak up big bumps at 70mph.

Well bet you never drove on the roads in Louisiana most are like washboards and when the pavement ends it's pretty soft.... Looking for the right rims to go with the kit so I can run 35's with out any problems. I would like 18's since most 35x12.5x18 tires I'm looking at are E rated and the 17's are D rated.

Toyo MT 35/12.5/17 are E rated. I run them at 35 psi front/ 25 rear when unloaded on pavement. 20 rear offroads.
And when I tow my 30 foot toyhauler (10,000 lbs) I run them at 65. At low pressure, the ride is pretty smooth, and
thanks to the stiff sidewalls, the truck still corners like a champ.

Hum I found some 17x8.5 with 5-3/8 backspace. How bad does those MT's sound on the road. Towing your trailer everything handles ok? I have a 14' inclosed that I pull and I thinking I might get rid of it and get a 35' toyhauler to cut down on hotel cost on the weekends.

Trailer and truck handlegreat when towing. I am looking into some airbags, though. My truck sits almost level with no load, so when I hook up the toyhauler the back drops 2" and the front rises about an inch. The tires really are pretty quiet, and they wear great, too.
I've got 30,000 miles on mine, and hope to get another 10,000 more out of them. They're a little pricey, 350 a tire, out the door.

Might look at those next time. I can get a good deal on those at the tire shop we use for our company trucks they carry Toyo so my buddy will hook me up on them. He tried his hardest to get me into some Toyo AT's but I didn't like the look of them and wanted a little more meat. I'm sure I would need air bags with my current setup if I pulled a bigger trailer. Now I just have to wait till the wifey cools down since I told her I was getting new rims/tires and new suspension kit and I've only had these on for 5 months.
