Well I put some Bilsteins on my truck this weekend and here is what I noticed.

The ride has improved. The after bounce has been eliminated. There seems to be a greater feeling of stability when on rough roads. Truck does not get jostled around as much anymore.

I installed a 1/4" spacer at the top of the front shock to help since I raised the front end by cranking the torsion bars about 1 1/4".

The difference from the install was not as great as I expected, from the way that a lot of people rave about these shocks, but was deffinantly an improvement.

The stock shocks were a lot softer and easier to compress by hand.

My Two Sense!
