Default Bilsteins on.

I just put on all four bilsteins and took off my 1.5 autospring. Bilsteins at the .75 setting. It seems to steer a lot better. The angles on the 4x4 components looks a lot better. Has some rake maybe I should have went to the 1.5 setting. Overall seems to ride a little better, maybe it's to early to tell just drove straight home from the shop. 300 to install all 4 and alignment. Here are some pics. Sorry typing this on my phone. Now does anybody want to buy my old 1.5 autospring I will let it go cheap.

Thanks, I probably should have used the 1.5in setting. I went up one tire size to a 275/60/20. But then again I have the 5.4 with the 3.55 rear, so going with any bigger tires is not really an option for me. So I just used the .75 setting.

How much do you want for the auto springs? And how long have they been on?

Looks good. A truck should have some rake to it.

Thank you so much sgb. That is exactly how a truck should look. I just ordered hoping to have them on next week. The 4x4 components look like they aren't too angled and look like they will last and not get beat up. Plus you won't look ridicules when you put 150 lbs in the bed. Sgb I wouldn't beat your self up with not having gone with the 1.5 setting like others on here. I think it looks great! How many miles did you truck have when you replaced to the bilsteins.
