I put on Rancho RSX shocks and new BFG TA/KO tires (32") at the same time
and notice that for the first 500 or so miles, the suspension was really
rough. It would hit hard on every seam in the road. Now that the tires and
shocks broke in, I have no complaints. The big dips in the highway
disappear with this setup.
I would recommend looking into some sort of sleeve for the shock mounts.
The stock bolts O.D. are just a bit too small for the I.D. of the shock
bushings. They sorta clunk when you hit something. I was thinking about
this weekend going to napa or to Menards to look for a snug fitting sleeve
to use.
