Tartarus: I was just stating what the general consensus is. I have the bolts in my rear too. I'm about to switch over to 422's and progressive lowering in the front. I've felt the difference in the bolts and the shocks, the shocks are better. I definitely don't have the $$ for an air suspension, but it sure would be nice.

I was still under warranty so I took it to the dealer and they had to remove them and take them apart somehow. They have worked great since.

On the lowering kits is it being to cheap if you buy the $20 bolts off of fleabay. Or should I go with burly brand which I think is $50
