My stock Ram3500HD had suspension issues. The Tiger coach was more than the Ram engineers accounted on. While new it worker marginally but very quickly was unacceptable at 5,000 miles. I replaced the OEM shocks with a set of Bilstein 5160 shocks. They were better than stock but by 20,000 the ride was back to stock ride quality at best. The rear was worse than the front and I replaced the rear with Rancho 9000 xl’s but they were worse than the OEM or the Bilstein’s. I have now replaced the front Bilstein’s with 25,000 and rear Rancho’s with only 5,000 miles. Very happy with King 2.5’s shocks which have 25,000 miles on them and still ride better than OEM, Bilstein or Rancho shocks. I purchased them through Filthly Motorsports… https://www.google.com/search?ei=FAUlXNepJoH2tAW5ioaADw&q=filthy+motorsports+review&oq=filthy+motorsports+&gs_l=psy-ab.1.2.0i67l2j0l4j0i22i30l4.10682.10682..14670…0.0..0.93.93.1……0….1..gws-wiz…….0i71.6ATQ_u1Ag20
Ben said they should be good for 60 to 80,000 miles.
