Is this normal on the front shock?

Damn what tires are you getting? My monsters and Nittos were 1700 as a set

BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO 275/65/20...best I could find online was $1200. Then I have to pay for mount/balance and then the shock installation + alignment. So i'm guessing $1500-$1600 for everything on the truck.

I just put the bilstein struts on my truck and love them so far! You should know that the new struts don't come with the bump stops and you will need to buy new ones before installation. I would also put normal shock boots instead of the plastic ones that are stock. You are supposed to use the old boots/covers as well.

Thanks Aggie, where did you get the stops and covers? Maybe I can add a little color. I always liked how lifted trucks have bright covers.

Well my stop where actually still good and I used the old ones but after the install my boots won't stay up so I am regretting not putting new ones on now. If I wanted to replace them I would have to pull every out again :-/

I work at napa auto parts and I honestly don't know if we sell the stops or not but I'm sure a google search will give you something
