I do quite a bit of driving/towing and wanna improve the ride of my truck; ie jarring, expansion joint kidney shots, etc. My dogs would really appreciate it too since they spend a lot of time in the rig.

I have already upgraded my shocks with Bilstein 5100's, wondering if the Sulastic shackles are worth the extra $350??

Let me know what you think :drink

First, try the new Rear Cab Mounts listed here - http://www.duramaxforum.com/forum/exterior/32989-frame-beaming-gm-campain-pit3009j.html

How do you like the shocks? I am looking at the Sulastics but never thought about the shocks. I drove a truck with them and it did feel a little better than mine but he had huge tires on it. Mine are stock so I'm not sure how much that is going to impact it.

I like mine :rockin

Looking into getting these too... Anyone else who has installed the sulastics think they make a big difference? They are pretty expensive compared to the better rear cab mounts, but is the difference really worth it?

I am definitely leaning towards getting the mounts/bushings in the near future...

Gregorio...so far I like the shocks. The ride is firmer now, which is not to say stiffer. It has made a difference with some of the moderate bumps and jarring, but still not enough to eliminate the big, sharp hits...from what I understand that's where the sulastic shackles may help?? One thing to note is that my truck has almost 80k and when I removed the stock shocks they seemed worthless anymore. Probably not the case with your 2009. Also, the 5100's made towing much more stable and linear which was a big plus to me!

talk to Hook'Em Horns he has then and HIGHLY recommends them...he tows with his truck constantly

I just had the rear cab mounts changed at the dealer. The upgrades are AWESOME these things make my truck ride great, they really smooth out expansion joints and all the little jarring bumps are gone. Dealership did this for no charge. If you have not done this you have got to look into getting it done.

OK, you guys talked me into the cab bushings but Interstate 10 from Banning to Beaumont convinced me to spend the $ on the Sulastic shackles! Damn that is one rough road! No way will the cab bushings alone be enough to smooth that ride! I think I lost a couple fillings yesterday!

Anyone know which of our sponsors has the best price?

That part of interstate 10 is killer..It was even worse when I still had my Dodge....It would literally bounce you up and down in the seat...
