I have an 03.5 4x4 2500.
Wife hates the way it bounces on the city streets and bridges. What is the best riding (plush) shocks for the stock suspension. I don't really ever carry much of a load, just pulling a 6k travel trailer on an equalize hitch. (almost no hitch weight)

Thanks

 

No one?

 

I just put on some H2 tires. Moving up from a 245 to a 315 really helped soften the bumps. I've heard good things about the Kore suspension.

 

I put on bilstein shocks a couple of weeks ago, big time difference in ride. Not very expensive if you ask me for such a great change in ride. Going to do the fronts when I get the time.

Bilsteen all the way!

 

What kind of tire pressure are you running? I bet it could be backed down and would help some.

 

i agree bilstien 5100, had them about 4 mounths. totally different riding truck

 

Bilstein ALL the way. I just put the DRC Race Suspension (Kore) on my truck and it is many times better all around. www.desertracingconcepts.net

The kit has Bilstein 9100 for the front and 5150 for the rear.

 

i too just installed the bilstiens on the rear of my truck, just to see what kind of difference it makes, and wow. i can't wait to get the front in tomorrow.
it is like a car ride almost now. they make a hugh difference in the rear unloaded, doesn't seem to bounce and hop anymore.
well worth the money.
and my stock shocks were still good, for those non believers!!!!

 

I just ordered Bilstein 7100 front, 5150 rear, will take a couple of weeks to get them in.

 

what mileage are the stock shocks becoming toast?

i've got 40 k on mine, and the roads in Chasn are unbearable.

 

OEM ones are "toast" the first drive on them!

Really...them may last 20-40k...but the ride is never that great.
