I got mine (07 plate) a year and a half ago on 85k. All it’s needed is 2 rear shocks in that time for £200., other than maintenance of course.
Here's what it took to bring this old diesel back: ...New Bilstein shocks...But every time I drive it, I feel good.
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 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.
I run bilstein sport with lesjöfors oem style springs and it holds great in corners but little too harsh on ruff roads. Also helps to have r16s instead of r18s even tho they look a lot better
Just had new upper and lower control arms installed yesterday, with Bilstein 6112s ( set at the 2nd setting which is supposed to be 1.9inch of lift) and 5160s in the rear. The truck rides very odd, seems very bouncy between 10-50 miles per hour on regular roads. Also noticed that there are chunks missing out of the LT/RT struts, looks like the springs are making contact with the upper control arms.
