Billsteins are currently on back order for the 2021. My local shop can get the Rough Country front and rear shocks and coil overs right away. I am familiiar with Billstein not Rough Country anything I need to know?

I have the Rough Country 2" strut/shock kit installed on my MY21 Screw and absolutely love the ride quality. A bit more firm, definitely not "floaty", and feels very much in control. FWIW, Hennessy Motorsports supposedly uses RC suspension kits on their truck builds.

Did you get the 2” setup. If so did it leave a bit of rake? I don’t want a ash when loaded or towing. With the Billsteins I can adjust for that by using the middle setting. Can you post a side shot?

The M1 shocks are beefy and ride former than stock. Takes some getting used to

For a pickup truck I go with Ranch XL where the amount of dampening can easily be dialed in. I tune the front to take out any dive or porpoising and set the rear based on the load in the bed. Takes me less than a minute to adjust the rear shocks for a heavy payload or trailer.
