Riding Rough

[Madcowranch]

is there a way to test the shocks on the truck to see if they are blown?

take em off and if you can hand compress them time for a rebuild.

Thanks netix. That's what I figured but I was hoping there was a way to do it with them on the truck.

1ntheoc and khcdave -- you know, I did add air to the tires about the same time I noticed the ride change! I put them up to 40psi after noticing they were down to 26--28psi. I put some Toyo MT's on the truck about 6 months ago and the store must have figured that was a good pressure. Tire companies always seem to like the low end of pressure, I guess the ride feels better.

So yeah, maybe my current 40psi is correct but it would sure account for the difference in the ride.

I like the 26psi better, I wonder what that does to my tire wear??? They look like they're wearing great so maybe that answers that question. I'm gonna go let-out some air...lol...thanks for your help.

yep take them out put them in the back end and if you can compress them their shot. but it will still work on the ground. hahahaha

These shocks require a rebuild much sooner than most anticipate. Especially with hard driving. It's all good

High performance = High maintenance
