September 24, 201411 yr Better quality.. Kyb were OK but I also wanted to level my ride which the bilsteins are capable of. Sent from my LG-P970 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Shocks are non load bearing/supporting and so not level anything.....do you mean on cornering situations.....flatter around turns..... OK I will tell the mechanic to lower the front of my truck back down because the height adjustable bilsteins I had him put on are only an illusion lolSent from my LG-P970 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app See that SPRING around your shock brainiac? THAT'S what changes your ride height....from 0 - 2.5".....the shock itself is a hydraulic unit that bears no weight..... Sorry chum, but that ain't quite true with some shock designs.....

Guess I should send him the YouTube Demo on how the spring is mounted onto the struts and accompanying height adjustments one can make Sent from my LG-P970 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

I could load the back till the bumper near touched the ground (spring compressed), drive the car forward, touch the breaks and the rear would pop up. Do my trip, unload, move the car and it would self level again. How they worked I don't know but they did take the load off the spring.

YES - those have an internal pump which effectively brings the vehicle to it's preset height - they are only used for the rear of a vehicle they cannot work on the front....like a hydraulic dam on the inside pumped by the mechanical action of the vehicles motion....you're right - that would be the closest thing.....
