putting them on tommorow, i was told they would be stiff, but since the guy who owned the blazer before me never chnaged shocks and now im at 90,000 they despertly need it

o and this is what every road looks like when ever it rains, even if its a little rain, casue of the bad care

We have pot holes every once in a while, luckily most of our roads up here are blacktop so I am happy since you dont get those annoying expansion joints like in concrete. Thats what annoys me on long trips or living back home. Since expansion joints are just jumping at the chance to catch the snow plow blade and get chipped up (and then they fill it in with some tar crap so high that it makes it speed bumps).

I used coil overs on the back of my Bravada to add spring rate so I could drag my tools around with me with out the back end sagging. I used the Monroe Sensatrack Shocks w/ Load Assist. Ride didn't change a whole lot, but the back end did get more stiff.
