New shocks - WOW!

I've got just under 100,000 miles on it and noticed lately the roads really are bumpy and the truck seems to dive and roll around corners. I couldn't keep my coffee from spilling over bumps. Pulled my old front shocks off and they still had some gas charge in them and they weren't leaking but I replaced them with Monroe reflex's. Unbelievable difference in ride and cornering. I wanted bilsteins but got the reflex's for half the cost so I tried them and they seem to be a great shock for this truck. They are lifetime warranted too. I can't remember the truck ever riding this good so I would recommend replacing the stock ones alot sooner even if they seem ok. There is much better to be had if you change them out.
On another note I had a clunking from the front over bumps big or small and saw that my swaybar was rocking in the frame bushings so I changed them and noise is gone. Seemed worse when cold out. Guess these heavy motors take their toll on the front ends over time.
