Question 2

Must be my shocks, it's a pretty bumpy ride all of the time and when I hit a pot hole BAM! Also when I turn corners I can feel and hear a small thump. I figure I need to replace everything on my front end, does anybody sell a complete kit?

If you here a thump around corners, sounds like your A-arm bushings are bad.

Put your foot up on the front bumper (one side at a time) and try to make the truck bounce, when you step down off, the truck should stop bouncing within a bounce and a half, any more than that you need new shocks, less than that your okay. If you ain't heavy enough, ask your mother-in-law to help.

May those who love us, love us, any of those who do not love us, may God turn their hearts.
And if God is unable to turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles so we may know them by their limping.

A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.
