I replaced the original equipment shocks on my 2004 Tahoe with the Bilstein 5100's. My comments echo those of everyone I have heard, the ride quality is just outstanding. My wife also noticed immediately, so it isn't just me.

I ahve a 1995 4WD Suburban that I lifted about 6 months ago...Rough Country 2-3" suspension lift (3" front, 2" rear). I can see where they got their name from...extremely rough ride. Plan to install 5100's all around but the only 5100 front shock I can find is rated for 4-6" lift. Not sure if this will be an issue or not. Still checking before I commit to a purchase.

The intersections are wavy because vehicles stop at them and the pavement forms to the tires. Roads are also paved in the summer when it’s hot which makes the surface soft.
@photog1529 3 жыл бұрын
Roads are also crowned in the middle to allow heavy rains to run off without flooding the road. But some are ridiculous...one road near me that I run on is so crowned I have to run down the center of the road to avoid beating up my ankles and knees.
@jayc5934 5 жыл бұрын
The reason the road is like that is cause so water doesn’t build up in the intersection

Have you tried removing the sway bar? I've got a rcsb and deleted the sway bar, improved the ride without adding much body roll. Your wheelbase is a little longer so you might have a little more. You could try it out first by removing the end links and rotating the sway bar out of the way.

Semi’s compress the asphalt and creat little trenches or groves in the road. It happens everywhere they lay asphalt; not a Springfield thing

Also, the braking actions of vehicles "push" the face of bumps higher over time. The bumbs grow where breaking occures.
