Does Big Red have a stock suspension? stock tires? Let us know some specifics as they apply to your truck. What shocks were you running before that need replacing now? What brand stabilizer? Aftermarket stuff? or stock?
Did you like the ride quality of the shocks you're going to replace? or do you want softer? or firmer shocks? Was the steering stabilizer to your liking? was it too soft? too firm?

... Inquiring minds want to know!!!

and you are right inquiring minds need to know. big red is all stock. I felt the shocks were to soft, can't hold up the psd under breaking conditions,the whole truck bunny hops. I am sure the breaks are good. as for the stabilizer there is oil driping outaround the seal. from what I understand the stabilizer does not come into use on the highway. if this is true I dont need anything fancy.
