That is not a shock problem, that is a brake problem. You may have the same
thing going on that I just went through.

Subject: DML: Wierd moving motion on GenII Dakota..

Well since my truck has been realigned, I have a weird motion at highway and
beyond speeds.

First, at about 50mph and faster hard acceleration produces a lift in the
nose and a pull to the right. A off the pedal instead of backing down
gentle produces and nose dive and right side pull. Is this signs of shock
wear/fatigue, or something else?

I am planning on replacing the shocks very shortly no matter what as the
nose has a bobbing feeling on open road driving.

I had been using the Napa Monroe lifetimes for the last couple sets, but
have heard from the list of these "Reflex" shocks. I was thinking of some
Rnacho 5000 coil overs(at $54 each, I don't know..), but would like the
lists opinion on my GenII first.

Thanks in advance!
