So I've recently purchased this truck. Loving it so far, however it's riding like a boat... swaying back and forth. It's not the type of ride where it bounces after a bump but it's more about the side to side. Will new Bilstein shocks front and rear firm this up? Or is this normal?

That doesnt sound normal. Have you checked to make sure your suspension looks OK? No visible leaks.. or broken parts. My 2013 never sways side to side under any driving condition. It will handle like a truck under quick turns at higher speeds but always stays planted. But even if your suspension is functioning like normal Bilsteins are never a bad idea lol.

Sounds like you need shocks. Mine is starting to do this.

Mine does this too, and I've got Bils up front and new Fox shocks in the back. I've been chasing this issue for a while, unfortunately.
