Does anyone else having additional feedback on this? Thanks.

The driving experience went from a under dampened rear end hopping around to a more taunt controlled ride.

Rear end hopping you mention, is that while making right hand turns? I feel like I have to be so light on the pedal until I get around the turn before I can accelerate.

Yes. Hard turns either left of right felt loose with the OEM shocks. Its really noticeable on rough roads with the Bilsteins controlling the rear end hop.

Added the door sill shields.

I actually bought the ones made for the 250/350 because they were $10 cheaper on eBay. Had a little bit of trouble with the rear ones, but they're gonna do the job for me. May poke a small hole in the small areas on the rear ones




Added some wheel well liners yesterday. Put that off for WAY too long. Ignore the dirty fender flare...

Install is not bad, easier with someone holding the tail out as you start the small end and peel the paper off. If your young and limber or old and limber sitting indian style and getting the straight line along the bottom as the top lays out sticking the bottom along then work your way up. It comes with a nice hard squeegie to flatten it out. The instructions emphasize "Hard Presser To Activate The Adhesive"...
I had a hard time finding any decent sill plates for my 2015. These are tuff and cover. A great product.

I'd like a smoother version for mine, but these may be what i end up getting, it's hard to tell texture in pictures.
