well it looks like I got the customs situation set, and the suspension is
installed... I gotta say that I love the way the truck looks and I will have
pics as soon as I get it clean...
Had to install the stuff in the driveway, and it started raining once I got
the rear end started!!! well I finished it.. and it is killer!!
my only question is to those running the bilstein (sp?) shocks from
hotchkis, how does it ride? Mine has Belltech nitro drop shocks and they
seem to be harsh on the compression (understandible for a low travel shock)
and weak on rebound. the whole truck bounces , and the tires break lose over
rail road tracks at 30 mph and at freeway speeds the smallest bump causes a
long lasting bouncing in the truck... it feels like I am driving a bottomed
out honda!!! I am not hitting any of the bump stops. do the hotchkis tuned
shocks ride any better, or is this just a fact of life with a lowered truck?
