Im sick of how my truck rides like a tank. It doesnt have a spring lift, so I dont understand why it rides soo rough.

PLEASE help me with advice as to the best riding shocks for the leaf spring trucks. Im willing to pay for any quality shock shy of super expensive external resevoir shocks.

No offense, but it might have something to do with the fact that is a 3/4 ton truck. If you aren't using it as a 3/4 ton truck enough to look past the fact that it rides rough empty, you might want to look towards a half ton.

X1000000. I've got the fancy Bilsteins on my truck. Guess what, still rides like a tank. :hehe: Sure, it rides a *bit* better, but it's still gonna ride like a brick.

I KNOW ITS NOT A SUPER DUTY BUT THE WIFES TRUCK (GMC 1500 4" LIFT) HAS THE EDELBROCK SINGLE SHOCK ALL THE WAY AROUND

MY TRUCK HAS THE PRO COMP MX6 ADJUSTABLE SHOCKS & ON THE SOFTEST SETTING THEY ARE HARD AS HELL
