Bilsteins 0r 2.25 Swayaways

I'm looking at the Lorenz kits and was wondering if I would notice the upgrade to the 2.25 swayaways? My truck is used 98% for highyway driving. I tow a little, but nothing real heavy (7000-9000# range).

I was also considering his dual purpose leafs. Right now I usually have a couple hundred #'s in the bed plus the weight of a shell (long bed) or should I stay with the mini-packs

Can't comment on the shocks other than I have the 5100's on my truck and like them, they work well on the street and mild offroad.

As for the springs...If you have the coin, get the DP springs, from what I keep reading they are way better than stock and better than the mini-packs.

Just ordered the 5100 system with the DP leafs. Can't wait to install and see how the truck drives.

Yup, go ahead and make me jealous..... All I did was the leveling kit with the 5100's, rear is still stock (one of these days I'll get around to putting the Bilsteins back there too). Truck rides way better, has a more balanced feel from front to rear and corners better.
