Just installed the shocks and stabilizer. The factory rancho shocks were gone. The ride is much much better. The stabilizer wasn't as bad but definitely worn. I'm at quick lane at the local dealer right now having the alignment checked and front tires looked at. I may have a busted belt in the right front. I don't know yet

The front tires were out of balance by 2 ounces. The alignment was so close they suggested not worrying about it. It rides so much better, especially with the new shocks up front. I started trying to install my 2WD low range


relay and high idle, but it got dark too early.


I was thinking of replacing the rear shocks but I wonder how much difference it makes on a dually? Maybe with a load it would, but running around empty?

Well with my single rear having tired shocks
when unloaded and hitting a speed bump makes it hop.

This is my first 1 ton. I just assumed it rides like that anyway, if empty.
