I have read through all the threads about longer shocks and shock extenders and the like. i just have cranked torsion bars; no green keys or anything like that. The truck has 10k miles on it and the stock shocks seem to be gone already. i just need a shock that will smooth out the ride a bit and give me a little better controled feeling on the highway. thanks in advance.

I'm also interested in better shock absorbers.

Is Bilstein still about the best you can get?

YES, and talk to this guy. :) WWW.kennedydiesel.com (http://www.kennedydiesel.com)

I run Bilsteins in my truck, it had Trailmaster SSV's which are typical trailmaster, just not that good. I like the Bilsteins they ride a little harsher but i like it. You could also try Rancho RS9000's which are great, or even Skyjacker Nitros's or Platinum's. Stay away from Rancho RS5000's, Skyjacker Hydro's, Any BDS Product, Trailmaster, Pro-Comp.

I tried the bilsteins on my 3500 and didnt notice a difference over the factory shocks, so i put the rs 9000 on and like the way you can soften the truck up or stiffen it up for the heavy loads.

I replaced the stock shocks after about 5k miles with Bilsteins. A noticable improvement. The Rancho's seem to get good reviews too.
