2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Bilstein Shocks, Installation

[aviatorman]

Oo. Just installed theBilsteins (B46-1907) on the front and remembering a former post, paid attention to the rubber bushings form and fit. Sure nough, there was not quit enough compression on the bushings to make them appear snug. So,, took an quarter inch off the shaft steel bushing length, and the rubbers tightened nicely. Truck drives better,, rebound rate reduced from 3 bounces to 1 bounce when going down wavey roads and cornering is flatter.

BPine instlalled mine a couple of weeks ago and same thing he had to modify the shafts and what not. I am not realy all that impressed with them though although rebound is better I can't say that the ride is any better than the 100k stock shocks I took offf.
