Sry if I came off like the pro comps were rough, they are a competent shock by all means , only reason I switched back to the bilstiens was I definitely could feel a plusher ride but then again we have trucks so how good is it gonna get, I'm sure going from stock worn shocks to the comps will be night and day.

there not crappy. I'm sure if you put any kind of new shocks on your truck you'll notice a big difference from going to your old worn out factory ranchos to anything else

The shocks on my truck are less than a year old and they are the same RS5000's that came on it from the factory. The previous owner replaced them just before I bought the truck. Heck, there may even be some chance that I've got a worn shock or two and that's what's causing the problem.... I'd get under and look at it but I'm lazy and it's cold outside....
