Companies That Stand Behind Their Products
In 2006 I bought a Bed-Rug bed liner for my new Dodge. I like it because it's good on my knees and is attractive. Now, I really like it because UV has attacked the material and to my surprise the comp...

Care to elaborate Cummins.. Got over 12 years and 180,000 miles on the shocks that they replaced for free. Got lots of free flat repairs, tire rotations, balance and alignments done by them and never an issue.
Also went thru 3 sets of LT tires and got 60,000 miles out of them and replaced them early each time.
As soon as I need tires/shocks for the 13, I'll go there again.

For starters I easily get over 100K on BFG's or Michelins.
I have a set of their "best" shocks on the 98 RAM 2500 2wd I recently bought and they are lousy. Try a set of Bilstien's and then you will know how a shock should respond. Any shock will go up and down for thousands, it's the quality ones that keep doing it right for thousands.
If you are happy that's great. I thought RBW made the best hitch until I tried a B&W.
I pretty much found Bilsteins lacking after buying a set of Koni's. YMMV, but Bilstein gas rides terrible on the highways and freeways and interstates here in CA. Rattles your eyeballs constantly, and jars your fillings and crowns right out of your mouth.
What was your application with the Koni's?
Commuting, daily driver, canyon roads to go fishing and camping, you name it. 90 HP to 120 HP nozzles, stage II chip tune. About 140 HP up from 90 HP stock, and 240 ft lbs of torque up from 155 ft lbs, in a 3100 lb german 4 door sedan.
Had Bilstein Gas, highly disappointed, went instead to Koni Reds, 5 stage dampening adjustable. For my applications on the rough freeways of So CA, oil shocks have superior dampening properties. A little more lateral roll than gas shocks, but a good trade for a daily driver. Input at the steering wheel was superior. Koni's had lifetime warranty for the original owner.
I have heard goof things about Koni's most comments come from autos not pickups. Most people that have had Bilstien's swear by them as do I for a pickup application. I have ran NAPA best, Monroe's best, Edelbrock's best, Rancho's adjustable best and have to say the Bilstien's are superior to any of those mentioned for my application!
