several shock based q's

[dammitmitchell]

hey guys..
steering stabalizers..
how do i absolutely make sure they are working right?
or better yet working at all..

shocks..
well.. i diddnt buy the ones on my truck so i have no freakin clue what i got..
but when i hit bumps my truck dances.. and rides hard as hell.. not nearly as bad as it used to be.. ( but i think that might be temperature related)

but when i go to replace all 6 of them..
(4 front) 2 rear
what do yall reccomend for a descent mudding truck?
it's also my DD soo... dont want my spine to compact more then it allready has



i know it's never going to be as sweet and soft as a newer truck.. but would like to squeese out nice comfy things here and there... once ina while..

oh p.s. it's a 83 w 350 swap and skjacker 8in lift.. pretty much everything lift wise is from skyjacker...
