Yeah, I think it's time. I have Bilstein's, and I wish they were Koni's. While they have good control they are a bit stiff, and others I have spoken to who have Koni shocks seem to be pleased. I might change them out in the next year or so as funds allow...

I put Koni FSDs on about 2 months ago, they made a huge improvement in my ride and handling.

Koni FSD. I replaced Bilstein's that only had about 3,000 miles on them with Koni-Shocks very noticeable difference in ride.

Very minor if any I had already installed the rear Roadmaster auxiliary sway bar and TigerTrak track bars F&R, which was the biggest handling improvement. Also, The Blue Ox TruCenter was already installed before the Koni shocks.
