x2^^ If your vehicle's suspension is lowered, your stock shocks need to be replaced. Stock shocks allow only limited travel, and the lower you drop your vehicle the worse the problems get. Leaving stock shocks on your lowered vehicle results in poor handling, bone jarring ride, and limited shock life.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I would bet I've got 2.73's in the rear, it was a 6cyl 3spd... & now it's a 350 with a 4 spd. It gets pretty good gas mileage which I like but it only does a one wheel peel. I might put a locker in there since I don't drive it in the winter or on rainy days. It's just a summer ride.

This I know all to well!!! The truck rides like a brick in the rear! I was thinking about fabbing up some shock extenders. Anyone know about how long the extenders are?
