Bilstien Shocks
I have about 54,000 miles on my truck with the stock shocks still on. I also have a leveling kit on. If I put new bilstien shocks on how much of a difference am I going to notice if any, particularly on washboards as the road to my house is covered in them?

Installed fronts last night. I have to do the back today. I'll post how I like them - won't be able to drive the truck until tonight after I finish installing my Pacbrake get my airbox reworked.

I have the 5100's also. I did notice an improvement over stock that I didn't expect. Plus they are great looking too. They look like stainless steel. I am not sure whoever got theirs for $200 are the same as mine. I am a dealer and get them pretty darn cheap and I can't get all 4 for that. And I had to wait 3 months last year for them too get here as they were out and were not building any at the time I ordered them. They were on national backorder. But worth the wait I must say.

Just got mine on today and went for a drive. All I can say, is that our trucks should come with them from the factory - much better ride than the OEM crap.

I could not agree more. How do you like the rears Festus? I only installed the fronts. Are they to rough in the back?
