no, the truck drives like it should, the shocks don't push it on to the
pavement. i paid 44.88 per shock. however, is that $58 price including
install? i got mine at advanced auto (discount auto parts here in Miami).
you can order them at www.advanced-auto.com.

I forgot to ask this before I sent the previous one. With my RS5000s, I
always felt like my tires were being "pushed" into the road - forcing
constant tire-road contact & traction. This was a good feeling. Do you
get that feeling with the Reflexes?

Sears wanted $58 each for Reflexes when I went there last week. I think
I'll pass on buying from them.
