Dampening the 4/6 ECE - Properly!?!?

[im4darush]

Hi guys, I have a 72 short box (coil rear) that is lowered on the ECE 4/6 drop. It also has the KYB shocks that came with the kit. These shocks do NOT do a good job for those of us that are looking for something a bit more than just marginal. The rear of my truck is very bouncy and feels very unsettled. The front is about the same with very poor dampening.

So with that, I looking for something that will actually work well. Have read post after post where people say they are happy with KYB, and even Monroe. Cant imagine how a Monroe shock would feel if these KYB shocks are this bad. I am considering bilsteins and wanted to hear some real world opinions from those that are running them.

Bilstein #'s
Front 55-R033
Rear 55-R034

I was also looking at Belltech street performance or Nitro Drop. Not sure which are the better ones. Can only see which are more expensive. And have read that some can not install the front ND shocks due to the dust cover being very thick and not having the required clearance. Not really looking to replace the shock mounting bolt.

Any feedback or experience would be very appreciated. The entire suspension on my truck is brand new so there are no worn parts to speak of.
