I had them on my IDI. Compared to the ones on my truck now, the hydro ones, they seemed to ride a little nicer. I never towed more than 8k with them
But they handled it pretty well and ride quality didnt suffer noticably. Thats about all i can say lol

I was just looking at those yesterday. I wouldn't mind some new front ones, I don't think I need to get rears with the stiff springs, probably a waste of money.

More than likely Darin. We keep snapping shocks on my boss' 94 IDI F350 cab and chassis dump truck. Finally just left them off and you can't tell a difference at all.
