Do these guys understand the concept of internal bypass shocks? They have a range in the middle where some of the oil bypasses the valving, but all of the oil must go through the valving outside of that range. In other words, they're soft in the middle of their range of travel, but stiffen up at extremes.

Doing what they've done here puts that soft range in the wrong part of the shock's travel.

If it was that easy to make the truck handle better, I think the SVT engineers would have done it. This may make the truck look better to their eyes, but I think it would be bad for the high-speed handling on rough surfaces. That handling is why I'm buying one, not its looks.
