I went to the website and when you enter what truck you have the D2 has shocks but it says except air suspension. Does this mean that that you can't get the Bilsteins either? I have also heard that the OME nitros don't work either becasue the air bags will be too extended when flexing them off-road. Can somebody help me??!!

Thanks John but I am not looking into lifting my rig right now. I am on a tight budget and I need shocks cause the woodheads are shot. But I do want a good set of shocks. Also I am not taking out the SLS right now either. That part will come out later!!!

I know, I would go with OMEs but again like I asked before they say they are too long for the SLS system so I was looking at the Bilsteins but the website says you can't do it. So what should I do? I won't convert springs just yet.

Sorry, I though you were interested in a lift. Have you called any of the supply houses and asked? Call several and get a consensus and/or post there responses here for additional feedback. Now I'm curious too. I have a 99D2 w/ SLS and eventually would like to get new shocks but no lift.

Keep us posted.
John
