Sweet! You're going to love the ride!

I'm looking into getting those same rear shocks. I need to have my Radflo 2.5s rebuilt in the front. They've got 40K or so on them now, with several trips that had miles and miles of hard (and high-speed) washboard. My wife was just commenting that my rig doesn't ride smooth anymore like it used to. I'm sure I've worn out my rear Bil 5125s at this point as well, hence why I'm looking at the Rads now. You'll have to let me know how they do. I think that's the size I'd need also, or maybe I'd need the 0"-3" lift version. I'm probably right on the cusp.

I'm pretty sure three out of my four Bils are leaking a little, not sure how.  My rears are for sure and I think the front passenger is too. I beat them a little, but I think they should have lasted longer then they have. Oh well, I'll let you know how those rears work out.

Nisstec quoted a three week turnaround. Hopefully, that holds true.

Thanks Randy, it's amazing the difference good shocks make. The ride is drastically improved.

Comparison of the Tundra Bilsteins to the Titan swap Radflos. The Bilsteins were longer, but the Radflos netted 1/4" more lift. Bushings on the Bils also showed visible settling, they were off center.

I didn't keep the rears installed because the bodies are too long. I'm going to exchange them.

Haha, when I have a lift 5 minutes away, I forget about a mod day.
