When I get home today Ill be installing my bilstiens on my 2006 f350 4x4 and was wandering if theres any tips or tricks you guys that already have them can give me.

Spray WD-40 on the post on the front shocks. For the loop ends put some grease on them and they'll slide on easier.

I want to hear how it improves the ride of your truck.

Install should be straight forward, WD-40 would be helpful

once you cut the band on the shock it will fully extend. I used a bottle jack to compress the shock into the lower mount.
