I like 'em! They appear to be a bit more stiff in the rear, but at the same time they have more control and don't bounce like the OEM shocks - if that makes sense.

Not to spook you, but getting at the top, rear, bolt is more of a PIA on the passenger side rear than changing the fronts in their entirety.............you just have to perservere and think about how much you want it.

I describe the ride of Bilsteins as "firm, but compliant".

Just did my 2500 at 147k mi the stock units were really toast. It really helped the handeling. I agree compliant is a good word. The rears were installed some time ago by the previous owner.
