I replaced the air bags today with variable rate replacement springs from Arnott. I used my spacers under them also. The ride is pretty good except they make noise like they are moving around while I am driving. I am going to give the am couple of days to see if they seat. I have been doing some reading on here and some people say the shocks play a part in this. I am running Bilstein 24-103343. Maybe I need to switch to a shock for the lift. I have been running these since I installed Mark's 2 1/2" lift. I put the spacers under the air bags. Worked great except the passenger bag sprung a leak. Any way I have read a lot about the shocks on here. I know there is a lot of info on here and I have been looking at it. I would like personal experience and opinion on which shocks to go with. I am still reading other posts also. My eyes are burning. There is so much great information here.
