Leave Autospring or replace with Bilsteins

I currently have a 2" autospring on my truck and am just wondering if there any advantages to replacing it with the Bilstein 5100's?

I also am looking at adding some exaust. I have an edge evo installed. I am not looking for anything loud, but would like to have a little grumble. Any suggestions on both topic would be appreciated.

if its just a street queen keep the AS kit. the bilsteins ride a little rough for my liking.

as for exhaust look into a flowmaster super 40 or a delta 40 all depends how throaty you want it to be. super will be a little louder.

i had a gibson super truck and got rid of it in favor of the flowmaster.

They shocks will stiffen it up. How many miles do you have on your shocks now?

Go to the exhaust section of this forum for a ton of different combination.

I have a SI/SO MBRP exhaust and love it. Great sound, easy to install.

I would wait until closer when you need your shocks replaced. You just have to make sure you are ok with a stiffer ride. Any of your buddies have them, that you could ride in their truck first?

Overall though I love my shocks. They are exactly what I wanted.
