Sounds good, I installed in my 2006 superduty 250, now when the truck is empty bounce like a ballarina, I had Bilteins in my truck and changed fro Rancho 9000 xl, removed air pressure from my tires and still riding over springs, thanks Road Master I put $270 in the trash.

RUDY,

Am I reading your post right...Bilsteins no good and RAS no good?

If I am reading your post correctly...I'm sorry to hear of your misforutnue...I have had the complete opposite experience with both those products...as have many others...

Perhaps there is more going on with your vehicle?

And welcome to the Open Roads Forum and your FIRST post!!!

joe.

Sounds like operator error to me. If it made no difference then you did something wrong.

The Bilsteins are a good move. Plenty of positive experience here for proof of how well they work. You can search through posts here going back years about Bilsteins and come up with the same conclusion: Bilstein = works good. I have them on the front of my F350 and am quite happy with them.

The Roadmaster system, well all I can say is I would rather just have heavier leaf springs and be done with it. Simplicity is beautiful. No extra aparatus, coil springs, links, air bladders or compressors, just stronger springs that were designed to carry the load. Which is what I did on my truck and am quite happy with the result. To each, their own, as the saying goes.
