interestingly, the cheapass shocks Barry has (I don't remember what
they are) are far, far, far stiffer than my Rancho 9000s on their
stiffest setting. but I've been thinking they've softened up a lot
more than they should have since I put them on this summer.... I used
to be happy with them around 3/4, and now I run them at 5/7
(front/rear), and I used to loose the fillings I don't have at 9, but
now 9 just seems a bit stiff, not like the truck is riding on solid
rubber pucks....

make sure your bolts are tight, too - I had one back out after I put my
shocks on, and I lost it. don't hesitate to put on the red locktite.

aside from the seeming softening, I couldn't be happier with my 9000s
and remote setupd, but they're *way* over your apparent budget.
