Reading the thread from top to bottom I assume the same Barney.

But it could mean he agrees with everything i say.:B

I'm sure he is referring to the statement that Cummins made. "First thing put a set of Bilstien shocks on it. Inflate tires based on load using weight/inflation chart for your tires."My bold.

Air bags can help but do the above FIRST.

. They have many different ones do you have a a favorite? How much are they?

Depends on what color you like. For stock trucks 4600 are yellow and light blue. For stock to 2" lift 5011 are silver and black. Basically the same shocks.

4600 on my stock front 15 DRW and 5100 on my 01 with 2" lift front and no lift rear.

And yes, airbags eventually wear out and pop or maybe leak if the line gets chaffed. Using that as a reason to not use them is as silly as saying, "Why use tires, they just wear out or blow out?"

Last set, on our 07. bought them used in 2013, so presuming they were at least 10 years old before one of them popped.

I've split Timbrens in half too...

Maybe I should have been more deliberate....

Oh and use the internet for easy functions like looking up the applicable part and it's price.

"I'm not a fan of Bilstien shocks but if your '02 truck has the OEM shocks they would work better."

I'm curious what aftermarket shock do you like?
