diesel power, I am the one who commented about a "bmw" like ride when I was responding to someone who wanted a ride like a "caddy". This comes from the control of the suspension when taking hits on the road. The truck takes the hit and goes on about its business, basically a single event.



Like Sean said above, you can play with the shock pressure to tune the ride how you want. Up front I ran 250 for the first week or so, but that was to firm on road. I have been running 180 for the last month or so, and like that pressure for the road. I took the truck on a nice high speed runs last week and it took up all the bumps with ease. I was doing 50 or so where I would of normally been doing 20 stock. Only used about 3/4 or the shock travel.



I just changed the front to 150 to see how I like it, seems a bit soft now. But I will run it that way for a week or two the decide where to change them next.



As for the rear, they are at 200 and a bit tight, but the rear end sure locks up well. I need to drop them down a bit, but have not gone under the truck to adjust them.



I have the 2. 5 with the stock valving now. If I decide to change rates or can’t find a setting I like, I will just revalve and rebuild. No big deal should be a piece of cake.



i'm cool with all that but do you guys offer a kit thats for stock hight, i would like to replace all the springs and shocks and still have the same hight, maybe drop the rear some to make it level--only for street driving and raceing. is there anything out there for me? thanks
 
o. k. as far as shocks and springs go (with out causeing trouble) who makes or what is the best for street driving and quarter mile raceing, i would like to keep the stock hight, but alittle difference is o. k. thanks :-laf
