agree it was the correct thing to do, but having people at risk of catastropic failure for so long before doing so would not seem to qualify for an atta boy

Help me with this. If we did the replacement they recommended last year when they sent out new bilsteins, are we still in danger??? I have replaced mine as per FFR instructions and do regular inspections. To me all loooks fine through my shade tree eyes, I'm not a shock expert. What am I looking for?
I do not run the FFR stock setup I have 550#8" front springs and moved the 450# springs to the rear.
Any help appreciated.

This may or may not qualify for an "atta boy", but it is the right thing to do.
Beyond a doubt - better late than never.
I have had numerous experiences with manufacturers where the evidence points to a wide spread problem, yet they have denied knowledge or responsibility to the bitter end. If I owned an FFR I would be pleased with this turn of events.
Safe driving to all! Have fun.

Does anyone have a photo of the shocks in question here in their gallery?

Perfect....
Now, what is failing on these shocks?
I'll just bet is the welds on the top and bottom mounting hoops...
Is the problem across the Bilstein product line in general or only specific Bilstein model shocks?
Thanks for the photos...
