Bilstein Shock/Strut
Got all 4 shock/strut replaced with Bilstein set. Truck stays level but I dont feel the suspension connected to road as I used to. feels more like bouncy and like front and rear are not talking to each one 
. I hope you guys know what I am trying to state. As if a week damping on a spring suspension sort of feeling. Got it done locally to save some dough. Is there any STAR alignment needed afterwards ?

Pull some strings and see if the alignment is off. Easy enough. Also check the various bushings and see if they are intact.
