That is where I was going to start. I am ashamed to say I still have the factory shocks.

Yes 10 years old and 141000 miles as of today. Never had any problems and I even tow a 36' 5th wheel. I think it is time, what do you think? Front hangers, you mean shackle bushings?

front hangers i am calling the shackle bushings, sure, you cant miss the bushing if its bad. the rivots are probably loose after that amount of miles(by loose i dont mean falling off loose) just noisey and i'm sure shocks wouldnt hurt either after that amount of time

When I bought the truck new it would make a POP and the dealer said to bring it in. They had a recall to fix it. What they did is take the skid plate under the transfer case off and put rubber pieces from a used floor mat (no lie) in between the frame and the skid plate to keep it from popping when the frame twisted. The rubber pieces came out soon after and that is when I saw what they were. When I saw the were old floormats I never took it back and decided I could live with it. Funny how the dealer takes care of stuff HUH?
