I had the Trailmaster SSV Shocks on my 2000 4x4 Lariat. They where average shocks but after about one year they where starting to rust all over. I live in Southern California where it is very dry and hardly ever rains, so got rid of them and got something else.

Yeah, I was looking at the IAS shocks...but not sure. I sort of want the adjustable feature now that I think of it. Do those adjust? Or do they just adjust automatically as they say?

Im leaning towards Rancho RS9000's!!!

No the IAS's are not adjustable....they don't need to be. They ride great and significantly improve handling without adjusting. Why are you leaning towards an adjustable? IMO it's more of a gimmick than functional for street use.

Question Ias

Do others agree with JerseyGeorge?
Are the Edlebrock IAS shocks the best for a 99% street 4x4??

I'd like to smooth out the street ride on my '98 4x4 XLT Supercab.
