New shocks

[AlaskaVX]

I am very happy with the way my rear Bilstein shocks ride, but the front Bilstein's I'm not too keen on. I have the part #'s in my profile if your interested. The rears ar gas pressurized (I think 5100's) and feel stock if not a bit more stiff. The fronts are not gas pressurized and they like to bounce. Definately get gas pessurized shocks (like stock).

Oh and I am lifted so the rear part # will be longer then what you are after

The cost of the OEM KYB's is more than a 'bit high' - $300-500 per unit based on the estimates I have been provided with. Multiply by four - and that is a significant amount.

And especially given the suspect reliability of this shock absorber. Many - seems a majority of 99 VX owners - have experienced no issues with the OEM KYB's. However, a significant number of 00 and 01 VX owners - myself included - have been forced to replace the OEM KYB's at a relatively 'early' interval.

I would like to have a set of (good) OEM KYB's on my VX - but I could not justify spending an extra $1400 bucks to make it happen.

got the racho adjustable witht he control unit. The ride is awesome, I never had the truck with good "stock" suspension since when I bought it, there was always a leak. I'll stand by the rancho's, ride is much, much better
