i would never pay that much for speed sensors. I will eventually do a coil conversion.

With sensors going, and expensive, I'm wondering what the "fallback" setup is if the sensors fail. Taken to an extreme, I'm wondering how the truck would drive with the electronic adjuster wires un-plugged from the shocks/struts @ all 4 corners. Might actually improve things for a few of you? Cheap and easy to test... probably 20min & a floor jack.

I swapped the rear shocks for bilstein 5100's which stopped the bottoming but it still seems to get stiff sometimes depending on how much load is in back like fuel in tank. Which is why i think its the speed sensors.
