Has anyone checked availability of aftermaket shocks?
I would like to try some Bilsteins on my truck. They are not available as far as I can tell. Has anyone heard when they are expecting to make them available.<br> Thanks Randy

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

Don't know about the Bilsteins, but I have just installed Rancho's on my'03.

So far no problems with my shocks as far as extension go. Thought that it was interesting that on the invoice the shocks were charged out as for a 94-98 Dodge Trk Ram 15 and a 99-01 Chevy Trk Silv-4. Don't know which was front or back from this. When I asked about this I was told that was what the factory recomended.

Thanks. So far I have not experienced any apparant problems with the shocks bottomimg out on extension. At least none that I can hear. It is common for me on the hundreds of speed bumps (called sleeping policemen here) in my area to push the shocks to around max extension. If there are potential problems what do you suggest I look for?
