Does the group have an opinion about these shocks. I am considering going Bilstein. But I am on a popers budget. CALMINI is substancially cheaper shock which eqauls the ablity to get next week versus getting next month.

calmini makes great products but they had to skimp somewhere and that was on the shocks. when my truck was lifted i used them and hated them. if you really really want them let me know and they are yours, for the price of shipping!!!!

I got about a year out of my Calminis then I noticed handling was getting weird. But I drive Dirt roads daily and many miles.

So if you can wait go for the bilis, if not get the Calminis and expect to replace em later depending on the type of driving you do.

So far, less than a year, mine are fine, even great, but I had worn out stockers before so anything is better. laugh
