Whereabout in Tennessee?

Yeah I’m hoping ride quality will improve with the Bilstein Kit and leaf springs. I’m considering .6 or 1.2 on the fronts.

Well I just ordered the Bilstein 5100 kit with the shocks and front struts. I was originally planning on the Eibachs but the price difference was huge. Once they come in I can install the Bilsteins and global leaf spring and I’ll be set. With the money left over, a tune may be in my future.

Awesome glad to hear. Would the truck ride softer at the .6 or 1.2 setting? I may try to retain some rake in the event I ever plan on towing in the future. I’ve got leaf springs to install which will add 5/8” or so to the rear.

Yeah I got the kit that comes with rear shocks and front struts so I’ll have to reuse the front springs. The pric will do

Update: just went with the Bilstein 5100 kit. Claimed only one in stock so I had to jump on it. Price was good.

Yeah I just ordered my kit today. Said one left in stock. Price is hard to beat.

So about to purchase a front/rear leveling kit and I’m torn between Bilstein 5100 kit and the Eibach stage 1 adjustable coilovers. The Bilstein kit would save me a lot of money. Am I going to notice any difference in ride in the front with the Bilstein setup since it reuses the factor spring? I...

Let us know if it fixes the shudder

Appreciate it. I may have to pick me up some of these.

How hard were these to install?

It’s gotten out of hand. Not only did we just move, we also bought a ranger, so along with all of my auto insurance is about to expire letters from god knows who and the refinancing letters, I get at least two Sirius XM letters a week. Seriously contemplating putting an M80 in my mailbox and...

Imagine walking into the dealership with a blown up transmission and them telling you, “yes sir, that’s just a normal characteristic of these trucks.” They do that with everything else, why not transmissions? ?

Don’t go down that rabbit hole of the fuel in the oil. There are tons of pages about it on here. I went out and checked mine, smelled it, and then realized why am I out here smelling my oil at 9pm on a work night. Went back inside, grabbed a beer and forgot all about it. Well until now…

Shifting pattern is definitely better in tow, downshifts are but bit rough especially downshifts when slowing down fast. I’m not giving up on tow mode just yet though lol

I’ve gotten my drive mode smooth out perfectly, so lately I’ve been driving in sport and tow all the time trying to smooth those modes out as well ? Probably doesn’t work like that at all but whatever

Nice truck, been slowly trying to make mine a bit more like the tremor. I agree transmission is a different animal as I’m still in what I hope to be the learning phase.

I mean, the least they could do is give us a reach-around before railing us from behind. ? Maybe a tailgate damper or ignition bezel to tide us over.

Yeah, and everything you mentioned is pretty valid technology. There’s so much more technology that we don’t see built into the engine and transmission for example. I mean my 2000 Chevy never missed a single shift and drove smooth and rode smooth as could be. Why would we ever need to improve on...

A week? You retired? I identify as a retired male but for some reason my wife keeps kicking me out of the house and telling me to go to work. I’ve often just thought about going fishing everyday and pretending I’m going into work but I believe she would notice pretty quickly ?
