I don't think I actually have Bilsteins. Truck rides LIKE CRAP. Bounces and jitters, sways a lot.. drives me nuts. I crawled under the vehicle, the shocks are red and look smaller than the nice yellow Bilsteins I'm used to seeing. Did GM quit putting Bilsteins on trucks and not inform everyone about it?
I've been thinking about something else too.. wouldn't gas shocks on the light rear end of a truck make it very jittery? Should I consider putting standard shocks in the rear if I'm not planning on hauling any serious loads?
thx..

I would like to know too, because I am getting tired of the ride my truck has. I think mine are blue, probably stock GM no-namers. You reccomend Billstein for rideability? I just want a soft ride, I dont do any offroading as it is a 2wd. I even think one of my shocks is "dead", by the way one side handles and sits a little lower.
