hds

i went with the hds.i went from oem comfort bilstiens with 130,000 on them and dont think the hds are tooth rattling and do a lot of nyc driving and no real off roading though the truck does seem to handle better so i like em.and the ones i took out still had life left in them.

The stock shocks I took out of mine were the smaller diameter black shocks like in your picture. I replaced mine because one had started leaking and I'm one of those strange birds that wants everything to match if I'm upgrading.

I think the HD's are great, but I'm learning to enjoy my comfort in my old age. No stiff shocks or heavy duty springs for me, I'll use all of the suspension travel and slow down if I start bottoming out (although I almost never have to).

Great! Thanks for the advice!

I am also needing new shocks and I see from the Bilstein catalog that two different rear shocks are listed for the 2 door vs the 4 door (24-025027 vs 24-021791.) Does anyone know the difference between the two -- is it just different valving since the 4 door is heavier in the rear?
