Yes much better. I thought the Ranchos up front and the zone shocks where good until i put the Bilsteins on. Way better. Truck feels smother and more panted to the ground.

Nice. I find the ranchos rough. Hitting bumps seem very harsh and the truck almost seems like it's hopping lol. I just want the bilstein struts in the front I don't mind the zone shocks in the rear

So I don't have a all terrain. I have the SLT and I seem to have that problem. Do you know how much better the rear zone shocks perform compared to the stock rear shocks?

Its hard to say cause it rides so rough cause of the struts that it's hard to tell how the rear is performing lol

Do you have Bilsteins in the back as well?

Yes I do.. At first I just changed the front... I was so taken aback on how much better the front felt compared to the rear shocks that a week later I changed them also to Bilsteins.

The rear zone shocks are needed because the length..also they seem the same to me as the ranchos. But the Bilsteins trump them all. I have had all three on my truck with in a months time so thats a pretty good and close comparison window of time.

Thanks for the input man. Yeah my suspension seems super stiff which sucks cause I feel it is taking a toll on my truck. But I don't want to do the lift and tires till my tires are worn down. Not broke but not wealthy enough to do it like that.

Do you happen to have part numbers for the Bilsteins..I have the 7.5" RC not sure if it differs much on rear shocks

Sure man. I had to call Zone to get all the specs on the shock that came with the lift kit. Then contacted Bilstien. This is the one I went with for the rear with my 8" of lift.

Do any of you that run the 5-7.5in loft have any troubles getting into parking garages. I'll be living in an apartment that has indoor garage parking soon and don't want to do too tall of a lift and not fit. They told me that the entry height would be normal of that of most parking garages.

My truck won't fit in my garage, 6 inch lift with 35s.

I don't believe you'll have an issue as a normal parking garage height is 10'-12' tall. My truck with a 6" lift and 35" tires is almost 7' tall. I can almost get into my residential home garage.

    • Yes, and only a couple years before delivery. 🙄
    • So you're saying toss the baby out with the bathwater? @txab posted article was her take on how AI can be used to manipulate pricing as it already does and has been rebuked by the judiciasry in housing. How AI can be and is used to maximize refinery or even Amazon operations all of which are true but because she is who she is; that makes what she says about what is true, false? Is that something akin to Pre-justice aka prejudice?    Look, I'm first in line to approach all information with caution just because we live in a world where people like to lie about someone or something with such a straight face and in such volume that it makes digging to the truth wearisome. Meaning I understand the skepticisms but if I were to toss out everything a person is for a view they hold then my pool of people to draw wisdom from would be non-existent and I'd be forced to reinvent the wheel daily. Not practical.    "Be innocent as a dove but as cautious as a serpent."    Test each word. Every good lie is part truth or no one would believe it. Find the truth in it and reject what isn't.    On this one, AI is being used to do what has been done by hand for hundreds of years already but at such speed, the point of a computer, that it is more easily monetized. This one wasn't that hard a lift.    I wrote a few formulas in a Lotus 123 program decades ago, a series of linked Macros actually, that allowed a daily inventory to be turned into a running P&L and production plan. Something that took three departments a week to assemble now took the time it takes to input the 'daily changes' in inventory. Later that was ungraded to the more powerful Excel program an and integrated with bar code scanning, inventory to supply was done once per shift. It had a huge impact on production scheduling, Seamless interruption flexibility, inventory error reduction, raw materials cost effective utilization and scrap reduction. Huge improvement in the bottom line. I spent months on that and AI could have done it in minutes. So yes, it not only can be used, they would be foolish to not try. The legality, ethics and morality are not the domain of AI. Humans need to keep a reign on it. 
    • New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.  
    • Sounds like a smart reasonable person with common sense. Bill O’Riley never said he was just a journalist, by the way.
