Spacer taken out, Bilsteins installed(pics)

[Cocean]

Finally took the 2.5 spacers out and installed bilsteins all around. Front is set to 2.8 and I have a 1" coil spacer on the back with 35x11.50x20 Nittos. Looks great and rides smooth.

1st pic is with spacer

My personal experience with Bilsteins set up exactly like yours is that they ride better over bigger bumps than they do smaller stuff and seem pretty awful on washboard roads in particular. I’m pretty sure it’s a combination of the spring preload and also their digressive valving. That valving makes them feel stiffer initially but get softer the harder they hit big bumps. Probably fine for most folks but for me they don’t give me the plush ride. It’s a matter of personal preference of course.

That looks good! I plan on pulling my 2" spacers and going with bilsteins when the factory shocks are shot.

After poor experiences with the usual suspects (e.g. Monroe), I've been using Bilsteins almost exclusively on all vehicles.............have seen noticeable ride improvements across the board. Their steering stabilizers are super too........ I highly recommend the brand.
