Shocks - better ride

Good evening all. Hope everyone is well. Allan here. I have just recently purchased a 2018 Armada Platinum and I do find the ride a little on the " bouncy " side. I know I had read through a few postings and one gentleman had said to install Bilstein shocks. Now I have looked into these shocks...

I'll also add since doing that DIY/upgrade mod years ago, to date, I've put close to 60K miles on them and still rides great.

Good luck with that strutmasters kit. They use rebranded Monroe or even lesser quality shocks and definitely not an improvement over the OE rear air leveling suspension. There is a reason why they have to resort to using an additional set of coils on the rear shocks. To compensate for the lower quality parts that results in a terrible ride.

No personal experience as I would never use subpar products from strutmasters. I've seen their kits first hand from people I know personally and have regretted spending their money on them. Awhile back, a forum member even posted the Monroe shocks they were using on the first gen kits. Nothing wrong with Monroe as a last minute, only choice OE replacement, but strutmasters and arnott rebrands them and marks up the cost as well.
