Stiffer Ride

I want my truck to have a stiffer suspension. How I can achieve this? Buying special shocks or springs? I would like to maintain the stock height because the roads in my country are a wreck.
Thanks for any help.

The Bilstein heavy duties work OK for me.

is your truck 4WD? if so, you could swap in a set of the 7700 series torsion bars to stiffen up the front suspension. they are spring code 7.

I have a 4x2 and honestly, I have no idea what they are considered. They are the Bilsteins listed as teh replacement shocks for the 4x2 when you look online at the sellers. They are noticibly better on bumps and rough roads, but the real improvement is in handling. How they corner on tight curves is impressive. They were about $275 with free shipping. I installed the rears myself and enlisted the aid of Patrick for the fronts. see the link.
