What shocks are you guys running these days? I need to replace my shocks (according to Warpig) and am thinking Bilsteins but there are several to choose from. I also should do an upgrade steering box and shaft with a Borgenson because Dodges' track like crap

I have had great luck with the 5100 series Bilsteins. They do an awesome job of slowing the one ton suspension down over the crappy CT roads. No jumping beans for tires.

The only issues I have found with these is that the stainless appearing exterior, which looks awesome when new, doesn't hold up to the salt and winter driving. By buddy has a winter and summer set. I just wrapped mine in the 3M clear film.

cant go wrong with the bilsteins IMHO. You get what you pay for in that department.
There was another heavy duty steering box someone had recently posted. Red head or something similar?:idea:

Although I have a Dmax, I thought the 5100 Bilsteins sucked, running rancho 9000s with adjustments just replaced them cause the adjusters hung up but under warranty since they are lifetime warrantied. They have a deal running for a free controller right now till new years eve.
