2001L bilstein shocks?
Can anyone that drives a 2001L tell me what kind of ride they are getting from the Bilsteins shocks? i am thinking about installing a set on my Screw, but i want to make sure the ride is tight but not hard. Thank you.I am thinking about using the same shocks that come on the 2001L.

I have the new Bilstiens on my 2001 L. I love them, very controller ride without being harsh. My wife keeps falling asleep when we are on the highway. She says the truck rides to smooth.
I had Bilstiens put on my 1996 Chinook (E-350) mini-motorhome as year. Drove the 30 miles home on the highway and country roads. Next day found a wrench laying on the frame by the read wheels. Talk about smooth. I put them on my 1997 Explorer last spring. Really help here also. I have conviced several of my RV friends to change to Bilstiens and they are all like them and are still talking to me.
I am not a salesman or have anything to do with the company, just love the product. Hope this helps.

Bilsteins have been the best for me.
they were on my z281le-from the factory and were still tight and firm at 150,000 miles when i sold it. this was my daily driver, autox, driving school car.
i put them on my 86 saab 9000T--gone but not forgotten.
i messed up and put edelbrock ias shocks on my 97 xlt f150-never again.
my L with its bilsteins is tight, firm, and under control. get 'em!
