Sorry fellas.didnt mean to keep that a secret by any means.
Ireland? cool,I sure never knew that.
I will post up a pick of me at bonneville this last week tomorrow for fun...one of the cars set a record on its 2nd ever pass @ 232mph on a shut off 4 mile run...just missed getting the driver into the 200mph club :-(

After some studying,measuring,crossrefrencing and shopping I JUST ordered a set of bilsteins. 6248 front and 6249 rear.THAT is the most expensive set of shocks since my double adj drag struts for my mustang I used to have. I sure hope they are good(i have no doubt from reviews)
and my wife will dislike riding in my truck at least a bit less...
