I'm not sure, is the 97 suspension the same as the 00 and 01 suspension ?

What type of Bilsteins did you get ?

Standard "street" truck shocks ?
Or was it their offroad shocks ?

I put on the Bilsteins. Very happy with them. They stiffened things up a
little, but not too much. I also have 17" wheels & tires.
