So . . . I've read many posts about the Bilstein shocks and how good they are. But I had so few miles on my truck, I just couldn't get motivated to change the OEM shocks out. And I was reluctant to spend the money, fearing that it would seem wasted. This past winter, driving on and over snow and frozen slush finally gave me the motivation.
So I ordered them from Amazon, about $310 for a set of four for my 2012 King Ranch, and I must say: I should have done it a long time ago. Just adding my affirmation to what others have said, the improved ride is very noticeable. It's still a truck, but it doesn't lean in corners like it used to, it doesn't jerk me from side to side, and the unloaded back end doesn't hop all over the place as I go over potholes, etc.
I should have listened and done it long ago. Gotta remember: I've never gotten bad advice on this forum. BTW, my truck had only 26K miles on it. I may start putting more miles on it now. I used to go out of my way not to run errands locally with it because of the miserable ride, but it's quite tolerable, now.
