The cover sleeve bunches up in the most annoying way causing the shock absorber to look like trash and reducing it's lifetime. Secondly it should have a hex bolt type base where it fastens to the top do it can be held from turning in the case of removal. See second picture for example of properly designed OEM shock absorber end. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that 1 ; A 6 mm Allen wrenches in the tip won't hold it after it gets dirty and rusty. 2;. With an Allen wrenches stuck into the tip, you can't put an impact wrench on it. Completely stupid design on those two issues. The ride isn't too bad.

Replaced worn out Rancho 7000's with Bilstein 5100's. The ride is firm and accurate, tires stay planted on the road. Nice smooth ride while maintaining performance shock handling.

I have tried a lot of shocks on my trucks. The Bilsteins are hands down the best shock I have ever used.
