I put Bilstein shocks on my 04 this past summer. They helped a bit but I find the biggest help to ride is tire pressure. I run 55-60 when empty and then up to 85 PSI when hauling or towing. The empty ride is better with lower tire pressure.

Anyways I bought my Bilsteins from Kennedy Diesel, here is the link

I shopped around a bit and using dieselpace.com I bought from Kennedy.


As for limp mode, when mine went in it was very obvious. The truck sounds way different, louder, and not as smooth, and it would not rev over 2000 rpm. Mine went into limp mode for 2/7 injecter wiring and the wires shorting out on the alternator bracket, both common problems on lly's.
