Sorry - this doesn't fit in the "lowered" OR "lifted" forums, so seems like this is the place for it. Mods - please move as you see fit.

So it's been a week or so since I changed out my Bilstein 4600s for these new Koni STR.T Light Truck Series shocks. The Bilsteins had 105k miles on them and were quite tired (but not blown). Since we sold our big-ass trailer, time for a better ride.
I think the Koni's are softer than the Bilsteins, not nearly as soft as stock, but even while soft they are exceptionally responsive. We have some absolute **** roads around here, and the response to dampen the spring is excellent (especially in the front), and just like the Bils, a little weight in the back (think 100-150 lbs) makes the rear rock solid.
Since I'm no longer towing, I can't talk about tow weight durability, but these things seem pretty stout - I wouldn't be surprised if they are excellent with a load.
All that - and the lifetime warranty is fantastic. I've never heard anything bad about Koni replacement policy.
All in all, I've very happy with the purchase.
