Maxy: which Bils did you put on? And, is your truck leveled via torsion bars, or?

They're overrated. I put them on, and yes they do give a more controlled ride, but they are much more firm. I'd rather have a shock in between these and stock shocks. I never knew that there were so many seams in the freeway. You feel everything in the road with Bilsteins.

I didn'y think they were firm at all, i had the yellow and blue ones, but it was a big difference in ride, alot smoother.
