just slap on what i just slapped on and you will be happy. depends on what you want to spend. i cant remember what i paid for my shocks. my sway was like 150 or so. pm big bill and get the latest prices on bilsteinss and sways.....

cheapest way to drop and improve handling without hurting the wallet and without cutting corners?
belltech shackles, bilstein shocks, and cut front coils
what are the cost of the L specs bilstein shocks
$225 is what i payed for all 4 L spec bilstein shocks w/ 2 rear insulators from Big Bill.
thanksOriginally Posted by s|ck
I'm trying to see how much I will need to send for the suspension up grade shock & L sway bar and maybe rear drop
These 2 rear nuts you got, do they not come with the Bilsteins normally? I asked BigBill, but he never replied.Originally Posted by s|ck
no you got to pay for the nuts but they are really cheap, you need new ones when you replace the rear for whatever reason
^^^ what he saidOriginally Posted by 01harleydude
depends on where you get them from...
I got mine from SHOx,com...came with new insulator nuts for all four...
If you get them from ford...you have to buy the insulator nuts seperately....
'
Big bill made sure to include the nuts when you bought them from him.....
OK... I'll try to post this here & maybe it won't get lost somewhere...
the difference between the L-spec Bilsteins & the Screw Bilsteins is the valving to accomodate for the WEIGHT dfifference in the trucks. & a touch of ride height difference due to leaf spring application. Just like Hotchkis has 2 different Leaf springs, the Bilsteins are valved differently... & YES there are a THIRD (TVS-L) & FOURTH (TVS-Screw) bilstein valving in the TVS set up, due to the spring rate differences in the TVS versus the SVT & HD leaf springs.
NEITHER IS SOFTER OR FIRMER WHEN USED ON THE CORRECT APPLICATION. NEITHER IS BETTER OR WORSE! THEY ARE JUST DIFFERENT
Yes, if you used an Screw shock on an L, then the Screw Shock would be "bouncy" because it is valved for more weight. Conversely, if you put the L-spec Shock on a Screw, not only are they technically a tad short, but they are going to "feel" soft, due to the Lightnings lighter weight valving bias....
Make sense? Simple physics folks... More weight moving needs more spring to carry the load. More spring/sprung tension needs more compression/rebound to stop the spring from springing...
