Damn the caltracs are a pain to install! I seriously want a set of those for my truck....

 

i can almost imagine...i need shocks soon & i'm hoping it doesn't suck too bad...the suspensions on these trucks suck to work on...i'll do motor work all day over suspension work

 

The shocks don't look too difficult to replace, I am just wondering what to replace mine with....

 

i was considering the toxic shocks from stylintrucks.com they're for people with lowered suspensions so i figured i'd give em a shot

 

Yeah, I was looking at those too...but I really wanna work on making my truck handle really well...those just look like they just are designed for lowered trucks and not necessarily handling. I thought about running some KYB's since our trucks only have a minimal drop, A high end set of KYB's should work pretty well for handling.

 

agreed

 

If you still have the ground force (stock) shocks in there i'd change them asap. When i changed mine with 40000 on the truck, 2 shocks wouldnt compress and the others wouldnt open....they were shot. Put in some KYBs and you will be amazed how much better the truck rides and handles. The shocks are the easiest things to change. I love doin suspension stuff.

 

I will agree with this. I think after my 2nd trip down the 1/4 i started noticing the rear wasnt quite as nice as it used to be. But, I twisted my driveshaft in october, and it hit one of the shocks (tore it down the side). They def. feel better than no shock at all...

 

This is good to know! Cause my truck rides like crap right now.... Guess I need to spend some money on some shocks!

 

yeah mine rides like **** still got the stockers in there oh and if you guys want a good laugh....just had an alignment done on the truck & i was told that there was NEVER an alignment done on the truck before idk how true that is...but it explains why i've had the truck for 2 years & gone through 2 sets of tires


which KYB's are ideal for these trucks? would anyone recommend the gr-2?
