Re: Bilstein 5100 shocks installed....question???

Well, the shop guys came up with some spacers that make it work better. However, in all honesty, I don't think the problem has been the shocks. I didn't even think about the fact that I have a lid on my bed that is kinda loose even though it's locked. You can definitely press on the lid and see that it moves, and with the firmer rear shocks now, I believe it was causing the lid to knock around a bit on certain bumps. After they put the spacers in (I'll get some pics a bit later), I went for a test drive over bumps, speedbumps, tore up gravel, etc. and notice the knocking now only when the lid is down and locked. But, when I actualy unlock the lid and let it rest in the open position, I don't hear the knocking sounds at all. Geez, life can really kick you in the butt
