New Ridetech HQ shocks installed FINALLY

Well guys after waiting over 6 weeks to get my new shocks. Then another 2 more weeks to get the CORRECT size I finally installed the new HQ adjustables.

The answer is YES they are an amazing improvement. Far and above the standard KYB that come with the ECE kit. And the fact that they can be adjusted to ones liking is a huge plus.

Second part of install was new Hotchkis springs to replace the ECE springs.
Originally truck was 1.5 spring and spindles up front and 6" spring and shock relocates in back.
Now the springs from Hotchkis are 2" in front and still 6" in rear.

Truck is at least 3/4" lower in front and rear is about the same.
I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW MUCH SMOOTHER THESE SPRINGS RIDE!!!!

Between the two separate instals the truck is an absolutely different animal.

I couldn't be happier.
Thanks
