Has it been that long? ****... I've won a couple of National Championships sine then!

Small world, but I guess gear-heads tend to migrate to like places (I've found a couple of others I "know" here as well).

I got you e-mail/order. I'll be in touch that way, and thanks!

I know you said there were better but how would you describe the overall ride of your new shocks compared to what you had? (Stiff, soft, smooth etc.) My stock shocks are about gone and I get lots of bounce and body roll.

Well to tell you the truth, if this were like a blind test, say someone put these on with out my knowing. I don't think I would even notice a difference. The only place I really notice them is in say a big pot hole or rough dirt road. The expansion jonts in the road are as rough as always, and that is what I was looking to get rid of.

Thanks for the info. I live on some pretty poor gravel roads in a rural county east of Dallas and the shocks on my truck take a real beating. My truck tends to bounce alot and you really feel the 4X4 suspension on the rough roads. I tow pretty heavy at times to. I upgraded tires and that helped and I am going to give the Rancho 9000x adjustables a shot. I like the ability to adjust them up. I looked hard at the bilstiens but for me the adjustable part seemed the way to go.

By the way if your lookin for new shocks check with Sam Strano. He can hook you up with a set for a very good price!
