Re: The great shock debate THANKS !
Thanks y'all for the great input. I appreciate the responses ! For 99% of
my driving on the highway I kind of hate to think of adjusting and
re-adjusting all the time. Guess I'll have to check out those Edelbrock and
compare them to the Bilsteins. Many thanks again !! !

Re: The great shock debate THANKS !
That's why I didn't go with more adjustable shocks after removing my
adjustable Ranch R9000 shocks when I installed a taller lift. I was
happy they weren't adjustable, I got tired of feeling I had to get out
all the time to adjust them to another setting for whatever reason.
