I've got a set of Bilsteins (non HD) and they ride great . . . rides even better with a trailer, other than that it floats down the freeway

On the other side of the fence, I installed some IAS shocks on the front of my mom's suburban and it was vastly improved over the Bilsteins that were on there. I can see the Bilsteins for towing use, but for everyday driving and the occasional tow, the IAS's worked well for us. And are still working well 75,000 miles later.

I've had the IAS shocks for about 3 1/2 years. Big improvement over stock ride. No problems at all.
