Yup, stock shocks... and the coil-overs or whatever u sed.. they were cut...
(to fit his ranger) and the traction bars lowered my truck a lil in the rear
cuz it compresses the spring a lil...and when I tow the lawn trailer, it
dosent sag any more.. so I dont care about the rough ride =-)
(they arent adjustable)
I soon may need to go to bilstein in the rear also... just to have them all
around =) ($$$)
Have you noticed any difference in the times from Va Motorsports and
Richmond in the 1/4 times?
a few peeps say Va Moto is about .2 - .3 slower than any other tracks...
just wondering what you have found...
