IAS Shocks Installed
The truck should come with these shocks. The difference is like night and day.
Install took about 2 hours. Rotated tires and checked out disc brake pads while I was in there. Rear shock top nut was a PITA. It seems like the truck sits a little higher now.
Feels super on the road. Less wander on uneven surfaces, almost no nose dive during braking, much flatter in the curves and on/off ramps, speed bumps seem a little firm but no more of that spill your drink sloshing around sheit.
All in all, very impressed. Any tips on removing the undercoating from beneath my fingernails?

Hey Treadmark, post some pics of your truck. I bet it looks sweet! I do have a question, though: Does Edelbrock say it's alright to put those shocks on a lifted vehicle? The IAS shocks would be my choice, but I heard they were only for stock vehicles (I guess not, since you're getTing such a good ride).
