What shocks did you run? The TC shocks? I scrapped them pretty quickly and went to Bilstein 5100's. That helped. This Spring, when I put my home built traction bars on, that helped the "frame beaming" over expansion joints alot. Kind of transfers some of the energy away from the rear springs. Putting about 1000lbs of motor in the bed made that thing ride like a caddy coming back from Burkhard's shop over some crappy roads in Michigan.
I was more concerned with you spitting a block out with out the traction bars when pulling, the increased ride quality was a plus. I don't pull, but I wanted the bars to eliminate the axle wrap when pulling out hard. They've cured that too.:D

Thanks for the Advice angry! Im running the TC nitro shocks for now, going to try them for a awile then upgrade if needed. Im happy how the front rides.

But the back could use some softening over large sharp bumps:baby:, but its not too bad.

Your right about Michigan roads, TERRIBLE!!! But they do drive Fast up there!:D

I'll have to look ionto some traction bars,

Thanks For the advice, I appreciate it!

My dust shields barely rub on my rotors because of the abs line reroute and how big the spindles are. Other than that I'm stoked
