Bilstein shocks???

I need to get some new shocks for my new acquisition. It is a 90 pick up and so as you can imagine, I need to get the ride sorted as best I can and the standard LR shocks are not that great for ride quality.

I have run De Carbon on and off road and the ride quality was excellent on my 110, but as I am in 90 territory now, I thought I better ask.

Does anyone have any experience with Bilstein shocks or a LR?

Any other thoughts??

Hi dg, when i say they totally change the ride meaning smoother...and the drive is a lot more tolerable.....for instance when i go across really rough ground the 90 used to rattle to bits now there is hardly any rattle as the shocks are doing there job

DG, For instance when crossing something like this cobblestone roads you can really feel the difference
