Hey man, you should add your location to your profile info... just so that the rest of us know where you are. If you're local, then I'm more than willing to join in on a trip to the desert or Big Bear or wherever.

I wanted to follow up on Roadie's comments. The Bilstein's will limit articulation, but in my opinion that wasn't the major problem. My primary issue was that they were often overpowered by the Z71 springs, as in bone-jarring, teeth-chattering stiffness. I swithced to the BDS shocks this weekend, what a difference...I can't believe it took me this long. Just my two cents, from somebody with bds lift and fullsize springs.

Good to hear. I just hate to waste money on bds if I am thinking bigger and badder in the near future.
they've always worked for me.
