Superlift Bilstein multi shock system pics and feedback

Hey guys.

Just wondering if anyone has the superlift dual (or triple) front shock setup, pics and feedback.

What about the same thing on the rear (dual)?

I have a 6" lift.

Thanks guys.

I have them on my truck. What kind of info are you looking for ? The ride is very comfortable... not to hard or too soft. The truck handles like a sport car and takes bumps well.

I went with the 5100's. I had no need for the travel the 5125's have. I don't know that just a 6" lift could handle those anyway ??

I don't know that I lost any. These trucks don't have much as is and as long as they are, I always have trouble in tight turns anyway.

Try driving an F-350. My turning radius is feet shorter than my brother '06 F-350.

Why on earth would you want, or even need, duals in the rear and triples up front? The purpose of an additional shock is to divide the work between the shocks to keep them cooler to prevent shock fade. Unless you buy a shock with lighter valving, all you're doing is providing more dampening, which will pretty much destroy any ride quality you have.

If you're working a single shock that hard, you'd be better off going with a bigger diameter shock.......

You mean like hammering through the whoops for a half hour at Glamis then jumping out and checking shock temps to find out that your 3" Kings are only at 125 degrees

You said it... it provides more dampening. My truck is 8900lbs, one shock may work, yes... but two works better ;-) The ride quality is stiffer than the stock set up by far but it also provides better handling and IMO, a more stable ride.

Bob, if we all could have the set up on your truck... I think we would. Fact is... many can only afford so much and Superlift's system along with Bilsteins is affordable and so far in my case... pretty durable. Don't plan to do the dunes with my truck... it's be fun though

I have the same shock set up as Tritont in the front but singles in the back. I like the ride now much better then i did when it was stock. Might be because i had a 250 with duals and got used to that type of ride. I did not like how the suspension felt when it was stock.

Exactly.....

I guess when you have nothing to compare to, ride quality is pretty much subjective.....but a ~500lb spring and triple 5100's has got to knock some teeth loose.
