WOW ! new Bilstein's installed

[bushpilot]

Holly COW ! what a DIFF !

As some may recall i recently installed new ball joints....
which got rid of SOME of the noise <poping in the floor board too>,
but i still had some noise...that in the end i diagnosed as
shock slop <rebound and compression>

i ordered the shocks last saturday, they arrived yesterday and
i installed them IMMEDIATELY...didnt get to drive the truck til
this morning <beer and driving dont mix, y'know>

what an IMPRESSIVE ride...not too firm, but whisper quiet now...
i could feel the diff before i was outta the drive way...and perhaps
this is the best money EVER spent on my truck...got 'em from
eshocks dot com, free shipping !

That is exactly how I felt when I got my Bilsteins a month or two back. GREAT SHOCKS!!

i got the stock ranchos and not super impressed with them

stock as in the "ranchos" that ford installed when new ?
well 1st off they arent RANCHOS...theyre ford shocks w/ stickers
over 'em...even the red boot is not a BOOT its POS open ended
hard PLASTIC !

i ran my factory shocks TOO LONG @ 54k...i bet they were dead
at 35k...

I've had Ranchos, Edelbrock IAS's and now Bilsteins. Bilsteins are by far the best ride.
