In addition to upgrading shocks, I find I get my best ride by carrying 200
to 300 lbs of weight in the bed in the summer and I increase it to 400 lbs
in the winter.... Seems strange, I know, but it definitely helps!

DO NOT GET THE EDELBROCK IAS SHOCKS! Based on my experience and others on
the list they are not worth the hype or money!
