Move to a place without concrete and expansion joints...do a search for Velvet Ride shackles and see what they have for your pickup.

I had the KORE, got rid of it to get the Carli. Neither of them will make much of an improvement on the California whooped out highways. Orange County I-5 was as bad as anywhere.

I just moved from San Diego back to my hometown Aug. 1st. Crazy thing is, the whoops went away. Just had to get out of Cali. And people speaking English is a bonus as well.

Just try and be realistic. You're driving a heavy duty truck. Secondly, they tend to be somewhat long which pronounces the whoops too. I never noticed them in our Honda and VW.

Good luck.

I pulled my fiver through San Bernardino and Palm Springs on a return trip from Reno, NV a couple of months ago and about shook my teeth out. Man I'm glad I don't live there. Whoever designed those highways should be shot.

Oh come on..... Put 300 pounds of weight in the bed? Maybe you should just fill your spare with fluid. Or fill the bumper with cement.... Why not just put some sand bags back there and save a few hundred bucks?

That is a pretty funny item they're trying to sell.

Carli sells a rear full replacement leafpack. You can purchase his Long Travel airbags to restore truck height if you tow. Call them up and they'll have the solution. They live right in the middle of "expansion joint central" He's got soft riding front coils and shocks specially valved to fill your needs.
