Which model Bilsteins do you guys have?
I am running a set of 5100s on the front and I think they are wearing out after about 150,000 miles. Way too soft at low speeds and lots of bottoming. I am trying to get more info on the 7100s. Anyone running them?
My suspension is stock in the front and I have Rancho 9000s on the rear with the lifting blocks removed.

I just put a set of Bilsteins on mine last night, just the HD's on stock susp. Took it down our great So Cal fwy today along with some parking lot speed bumps. It really does ride better, not stiffer, not softer, just better, more controal, less diving on fwy bumps at speed. I expect it will be better with the TT and what it does with 600+ pounds tongue weight and 700 in the bed. Glad I did it. BTW, my factory shocks were not shot.
