If you're going to lift you should definitely upgrade. If not you can buy my old rear Bilsteins if you want. They're just sitting here.
 
Replacing rear shocks is an important maintenance task that helps keep your vehicle stable and comfortable. Worn shocks can cause bouncy rides, poor handling, and uneven tire wear. Signs you might need new shocks include excessive bouncing, nose-diving during braking, or leaking fluid.

The replacement process generally involves lifting the vehicle, removing the old shocks, and installing new ones. It’s crucial to use the correct shocks for your vehicle model to ensure proper performance. After installation, it’s a good idea to check the alignment and test drive to make sure everything is working smoothly.

Regularly inspecting and replacing rear shocks as needed improves safety, ride quality, and overall vehicle performance.
