Shocks
I have napa heavy duty gas shocks on the back of my camper special and rancho gas (5000 series) coupled with Eaton Spring heavy duty progressive coils on the front. All I can say is the front feels real nice (no sag, rides good with a load, etc) Big time improvement. The rear is not bad but I am thinking that the napa shock is not stout enough. I am debating on switching to air in the back or going with rancho gas. I am really not to concerned with ride quality when empty in the bed but I like load handling capability. If I remember right, napa shocks are made by the manufacture that make a real well known brand. Just can't remember the name.
