Hey I need some advice on some shocks. Since I've had my leveling kit, the front shocks jus arent cutting it. There sluggish, and they top/bottom out to easy. I'm needing a new set that works with the leveling kit, plus a set to change in the rear. I've heard Bilstein being brought up, but is that the best, or are there any other takers?

 

Bilstein is one of the best ones out there, if not the best.

 

Do they make one for what I'm looking for?

 

They make all kinds of shocks.

They make a set that is adjustable from 0-2"s and with those you can remove the spacer and just use the shock to level the truck out.

 

damn, i didnt know that! i guess it would give a better ride too

 

A lot better ride.

 

i guess it may not be a bad idea to look into those for my truck. wit them big friggin tires on it, the ride has gotten pretty rough!

 

Speaking of a better ride I recently saw something on Trucks on the Speedchannel and they took a 1985 Bronco and took the blocks out of the rear and added more leafsprings and they said that the ride was 100x's better on the street without the blocks.

 

i was readin bout the bilstein 5100 shocks, the ones wit the 0-2" lift and it says: "...and are designed to correct the factory rake. "

...whats the factory rake?

 

for some reason i have a feeling that ill feel stupid askin this, but do our trucks have blocks of leaf springs in the back? im pretty sure springs, but ya know..
