New shocks for one ton

Just put new Bilstein shocks on my 01 F 350 ford and can not believe how much better it rides. Only wish I had done this years ago. The rear end of the truck would bounce too much with my fifth wheel in tow so I put the new shocks on. Never did I think a one ton would ride so much better. Do it, you won't be sorry.

Great upgrade, I replaced the OEM junk on my 2500 with Bilsten 5100's and couldn't believe the improvement.

When I bought my used Ram 5 years ago, I replaced the "mush" OEM shocks with Monroe Gas Magnums. Maybe not the best on the market, but a gigantic improvement over the OEM shocks. Figure shocks are a maintenance item anyway, no use breaking the bank on replacements.
