OK. Thanks for the note/shock recommendation and I agree --it's a truck, Damnit! :-) Now that I know how easy they are to replace, I'll add 'em to my list of winter maintenaince items.

        Tom, once you've ridden a new set of aftermarket shocks you'll wonder
        why you wasted so many years w/ the OEMs. My truck rides better and
        corners better than with the originals. It's a little stiff, but it's a
        truck, dammit - if I want a cushy ride I'll buy a 300M.
        
        I swapped mine a year ago at 39K. Some Durango people have been
        swapping at under 10K. It's definitely worth it! The OEM shocks may not
        be worn but there's definitely room for improvement.
        
        If you don't mind a slightly stiff ride, Rancho RS5000s are well under
        $200 shipped from Summit, and an afternoon to install.
