I'm sorry but I have to partially disagree here. When I replaced the
shocks on my '99 with Ranchos it became noticably more stable and body
roll decreased significantly. And with less than 10K on the shocks on
my new truck, it feels about as bad as the '99 did with 30K on the OEM
shocks. So either the shocks do play a role in all this, or the OEM
shocks are even worse out of the gate than we all think they are.
