Front shocks bottoming out?

[MojaveJoe]

Well, I think my shocks are going, finally. With 150K on them, and having them bottom out occasionally on what looked like a comparatively small dip in the road, Im ready to replace the OEM front and rear shocks.



I know there are lot of preferences, and I don't want to start any riots here :-{} really :-laf so a little friendly advice on an OEM replacement that will give me the good ride I had when they were new, is what Im looking for.



I drive offroad... but conservatively. 99% of my driving is on pavement and 30% of it is towing. I also run Timbrens over my rear axle for towing heavy.





Thanks for any advice and experiences,

Joe

I bought my '06 with Bilsteins already on the front. Before I bought it, I test drove a duplicate stock '08 and thought "man, this truck rides hard!". So when I test drove the '06 (with Bilsteins) I thought it drove WAY nicer! Geno's Garage carries them if you are interested.

Bilsteins made a huge difference in the ride of my truck, even mild off roading shows they don't allow as much bounce as the stockers.

Bilstein 5100's... . $340 for a set of 4 with free shipping from Bryan at DPP, You can't go wrong with the 5100's. The 5100's are the silver ones with the black boots.

Yellow and Blue Bilsteins on mine also. I just put them on two weeks ago. Works for me.

If you got 150k out of a set of shocks and you liked them why change:-laf

I have a couple sets of take offs if you are willing to pick them up... ... ... I hate shipping stuff

Generous offer Bob4x4, but those OEM 94s of yours probably won't fit :-laf



Already ordered some Bilsteins from Geno's thanks to the help from my friends here on the TDR.

I'm not positive, but I think the color difference is related to if you have a lift or not. Mine are black/silver and had a leveling kit when I bought it. When you order, be sure to ask, that's all...

Bilsteins 5100's here. Wouldn't use anything but. The price is great, so is the ride and handling. Plus a lifetime warranty.
