Gonna scrap th RC kit

[sigmawess]

Im gonna scrap the RC leveling kit and go with the Bilstein adjustables. I am gonna get all four 5100 series Bilsteins. My ride has gotten rough and I have a vibration so I am hoping this helps. How hard is the install, and has anyone seen a better price then 389.00 for all four. It wont be until the end of summer when shell let me buy em so maybe there will be a sale.

Everybody is giving the Bilsteins rave reviews... I'd search the net weekly for somebody rning a special.

I have about 11,000 miles on the truck and I don't have a problem with the OEM shocks but that is probably b/c I don't know any better. What differences are you hoping to see by swapping them out to Bilsteins?

I can feel every single bump and ripple in the road, also i feel like i am riding a horse when i am driving on a concrete overpass or bridge. But I am almost at 50,000 miles and I drive over some pretty teribble roads. I also have a vibration and I am hoping this helps. I figured if i was going to go ahead and replace the shocks I would go with the bilsteins because of the reviews.

Gotcha.

Yeah I agree. I don't really have a problem with the way my truck currently rides but I can definitely tell that the OEM Goodyears don't offer the best ride. I'm expecting the ride on the truck to improve once I replace those.

I put new tires on mine a few months back, replaced original tires (80,000 miles). Had it aligned and I could not believe how much better it was.

 

[Z71 Kris]

Yes, I have load range e, and generic tires to boot, so the ride is extra harsh, the next tires will be a lot nicer...

Def dont get 10 ply Nittos, they are extra stiff
