Shock absorbers Bilstein or KYB
What i did to eliminate my bounce was adding air bags. change out the shackle bushing to either OEM or polyurethane, you choice i went with polyurethane. Your leafsprings are probably gone, especially if they are OEM. You can change them. But try out the air bags /shackle bushing and also shocks (bilstein) if you haven't yet. For my motorhome, when im loaded, i run around 80psi non loaded 50psi no bounce even when driving on dirt roads to campground.
I would get the Bilstein 5100s, Bilstein 5100s are a night and day difference from the Westcott preload collar lift (it's essentially a spacer lift)
I suggested KYB Gas-a-just shocks. Not to expensive and they are a great mix of comfort and sportyness
I did 5100’s on my ‘19, 4/5 setting front lift, zero back. Nice and level-ish now that I’ve got a steel bumper. Feels better than stock by a wide margin
I've had these 4600s for a little under a year and they've been a huge improvement over stock, but the rear is sagging with my spare tire + carrier on the hitch.
I use bilstein shocks too.
I converted a 760GLE to 5.0 Mustang power and everything I could get from IPD. The Bilsteins / urethane bushings and sway bars made that thing a weapon on the curves.
Quick look on Autodoc it's \u00a3120 for a pair of Bilstein's. Do the top mounts too. Probs \u00a320 each.
In terms of the shocks themselves - Bilstein seem to have a solid reputation except for one former Bilstein fan on Youtube who had multiple failures in fairly quick succession a few years ago. I'm hoping their QA just took a hit for a while and the quality issues have been resolved, what's everyone else's experience of the longevity of these shocks? I doubt they'll hold up as incredibly well as the OEs have but I'd expect five years from them.
They’re complete garbage. i had one go bad at 11k. I also had all of them replaced due to the bottoming out issue on my diesel. I couldn’t wait to get them off my Jeep. They last about 20k. Replaced them with Bilstein 5100s.
