  Well, I ordered the HD suspension (including shocks) on my '95, and while
I can't say that I'm getting "abnormal" tire wear (I rotate at a roughly 9K
interval), the fronts sure do wear heavy.

  My main complaint is that the stock shocks, HD or not, just plain suck.
My Dakota is abysmally undershocked, to the point where certain conditions
feel downright unsafe. When I get around to it, I plan to go the same route
as Frank Ball and get a new set of KYBs.
