Hey man, I tried sending you a PM and an email, but wasn't able to do either, so this is my last resort.

I just wanted to thank you again for your recommendation on shocks. I finally finished putting the Bilsteins in my truck, and the difference has been amazing, especially up front! You were right; money well spent.

Thanks again!

Take care,
~Chris

Glad you like them.
The Twin I-Beam front suspension has so much unsprung mass that it takes a very good shock to keep the tail from wagging the dog. If you tow with your truck, you will be amazed at the difference the rears make in steadying the rear

The shocks that came out of the front could easily be compressed completely by placing one between my shoulder and hand, and compressing. I couldn't make the new front ones compress as much as an 1/8" using only my body. lol. I was able to put the rears on w/o a jack, but not the fronts! Did the rears a month or two ago, and did the fronts last week. Didn't notice much difference after installing the rears, but it was night and day after installing the fronts. They look pretty, too. lol.

Thanks again.
