Hi, I have a 325 cab. It has standard suspension and pretty much every rubber component has failed in the last few years. I’ve already changed the bushes and drop links. I’m changing the shocks as two of them have leaks .., so can anyone confirm 2 things for me please...

1. Bilstein B4 shocks will they be OK? I dont throw the back end around much but I’m not a slow driver either, and I don’t want to play around with set up etc.

2. Is there anything else I should change in the suspension set up that may have perished but won’t be obvious. 9bushes and droplinks already done)

Thanks

Can't comment on the bushes but can recommend the B4s. Still comfortable and huge improvement over anything soggy as mine were. Might be worth adding strengthening plate on the top mount but I didn't.
