Les Swab RMX Monotube Nitrogen Shocks=Good!

[ChrisKringle]

I almost didn't buy the lift from them because they do not offer Bilstein's. After a few hundred miles, I have now noticed how much smoother the ride is. Hard to believe, because I know the ride will always suck with the stiff leaf rear. I would say the ride before was a 2 out of 10. I'd say 5 now. I actually don't dread driving the truck now, looking out for every crack in the road. You should try these shocks, I actually think they ride nicer than the silver 5100 series Bilsteins I had on the '03. I would probably buy them over Bilsteins now because the silver Bilsteins I put on the '03 didn't seem to make much of a difference. Plus they leeked after a few thousand miles. Try the Les Swab, they have a lifetime warrenty too which will come in handy after 100k. The finish is a brushed nickel like the Bilsteins, but a little brighter.



The guy told me they were made by Bilstein, but I'm sure he just wanted me to buy. I read they are actually made by Gabrial, correct me if I'm wrong. Oh by the way, Lew Swab has been great to deal with so far. Besides completely twisting off 2 wheel studs on the same wheel. How the hell you do that, I don't know.

I agree with you on the shocks. When I had Les Swab replace my tires with the Toyo's I had them install there shocks. My rig rides nice and with the warrenty its the last shock we will have to buy!!

That's good to know. I've been looking around for some shocks, and a 2-3" lift. I pretty much decided to get the Edelbrocks extreme shocks, but with Les Schwab being local and able to do the complete install, I may have to consider those. Thanks for the input.

I need shocks, is there a place on line I can look at these.

I have a 4in. Fabtech lift with the rmx monotubes on my truck. Les schwab did all the work and it rides better than stock. I am very happy.
