my 10,000 lb 1 ton diesel superduty 4X4 uses 4 shocks and does 85 mph..
but a toy yoda mall crawler needs 20 shocks to tackle the potholes at 2 mph.
something is wrong with this picture.

It's embarrassing that the person who built that truck is from the same state I am. I do agree with him on one point, though....... he spent well over three times what he should have to wind up with a worthless pile of junk. He could probably get the same money from just selling the shocks on ebay

I have to say, even though the TH400 seems like a pretty bad choice to put behind a V6 (considering how much power you lose through a 400), I DO like the idea of a Buick 231 in a Toyota. That's about the only redeeming feature, I think.
FWIW, I have to think that those shocks would bind with just the slightest amount of travel.

the shocks can't travel on that truck. it's a matter of physics. a toyota barely has enough weight to compress 4 shocks, let alone 24, just rip the spring packs off that baby and at least lighten it up!! LMAO
