[QUOTE="TxFireman1972, post: 23628, member: 448"] I have been running some really rough factory Rancho shocks on the truck since I dropped it back down. They had over 100K miles on them when I picked them up from a friend, when I lifted his truck. Anyway, I ordered some Bilstein 5100's from Cary at CT Performance. Fast, smooth transaction, would recommend him to anyone!! They have been sitting in the garage for weeks cause I have been slammed with work. I finally got a chance to put them on today. I wrestled the front ones for quite a while cause I couldn't get the upper nuts tight because the shaft of the shock kept spinning. I finally contacted Cary and he told me to stick an allen wrench (6mm by the way) in the top of the stem :doh: Guess I should have looked them over better before sticking them on the truck lol. So once I had that little bit of info, they tightened right up!! Back ones went on no problem. I have only made a short trip to pick up dinner but they ride great. I'll get some more miles and some rougher terrain on them this week and provide some feedback, but so far I'm VERY happy. Here are the front shocks I put on: [ATTACH=full]181449[/ATTACH] New front shocks next to the old ones: [ATTACH=full]181450[/ATTACH] These are the rear shocks I installed: [ATTACH=full]181451[/ATTACH] New rear shocks next to the old ones: [ATTACH=full]181452[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
