My 06 4x4 Screw just hit 110k, looking for new shocks.

I will say my truck is 99% stock and 99% of my driving is highway. I'm looking for something to keep the ride comfy!

Any thoughts!

Thanks!

I've got 86K on my truck, and I dunno about anyone else, but I'm going with Bilstein.

You might want to look at the Rancho LS900XLs. They do have the ability to be adjusted for load and road surface, plus they come with a lifetime warranty. A person could do worse. They're not cheap, the front coil overs are about $180 each plus installation and the rears are about $100 each plus installation. Just food for thought...

I think I'm gonna go with their standard "heavy duty" model, the BST series I think they're called. My truck isn't lifted or lowered significantly, only a 1.5" drop with rear shackles, so I just want something that isn't gonna be as sloppy as the worn out stockers I got on there now.

Looked on the Bilstein site, I couldn't find 5100's for my truck, only HD's.

I got the Bilstein HD's on the rear, when I need front brakes, I will finish & install the HD's sitting in my closet on the front!....
