adjustable shocks
guys I have done a bit of searching and read a few posts. I am always looking for ways to make my truck better. I am looking on the handling side now. I have new suspension parts up front and have lowered this staticly with spindles only. I have the Dostech (sp) shocks. I have seen the coil over threads and all but didnt know if with the stock setup anything could be gained with a different shock.
Again I am pretty cost aware so just looking for different options. Dave

Re: adjustable shocks
Ya you can do a little bit of adjusting with the shocks. I wouldn't personally say enough to gain anything unless its a pro touring racing application where every detail counts and comfort in ride doesn't matter.

Re: adjustable shocks
well it sounds like there are no good "inexpensive" ways to help the handling I doubt I can swing the c5 dropmember. I will hang with what I have.

Re: adjustable shocks
Actually... a good set of adjustable shocks will make a world of difference and even make a static drop much more tune-able. The only proble with good shocks is that the better the shock.... the more money they are.
