Re: Front & rear Bilstein Shocks

When I last looked a few years ago Bilstein only produced a replacement for the front. There were some threads about modifying the rear shock mount and using a different shock, but I don't remember exactly which one or what was done.

I'm running rancho 9000's right now which are better than the extremely cheap KYB shocks that were way too soft. It still rides like ****, but I think a lot of that comes down to the sagging leaf springs and poly bushings. I'm waiting on new springs from Alcan, so I'm hoping everything works out. If I didn't already have $400 into the rancho's I would probably go with bilstein's.
