Suspension is always a fun repair. Anything that gives instant positive driver feedback (like through the steering wheel) makes for immediate safety and satisfaction! Great work Team Riley!

[@RichardSchoenfeld-ps4bt]

I always enjoy the explanations which bring the repairs to a level that even the least experienced DIYer can understand and learn!

[@charlesdalton985]

I learned a long time ago, when working on suspension or exhaust, the answer to the question "what will fall into your eyes?" is "everything". Thanks for taking us along, well done and well executed. ~ Chuck

Good step by step instructions in plain language

Always had good luck with Bilstein. Gotta love those body style Chevy and GMC trucks...

[@AV131082]

Looking at Riley's face you can tell for sure she really enjoy to drive the truck, right Dave? 😄

My dad has never been off Roading with me and my theory is you can’t get stuck in the mud if you are skimming across the top of it at full speed!!!!!

[@AV131082]
