Q. EVEN with all my suspension mods, and new shocks, my truck still rides like crap, what gives?

A. Check your tire pressure, I had the same problem and the people who mounted my tires had them inflated to 78psi.. YIKES!

Q. What are the best shocks to buy?

A. Bilstein 5100 zincs. hands down.

Q. I have slack in my steering, where is it coming from?
A. Chances are it's the pitman and idler arm. You can pick up a set from your local auto parts store for about $200. Cognito makes braces that will keep the steering links from wearing out so fast, a must have for oversize tires.

I have a NBS truck and want to lower it a bit.....what is the best process for doing this without major frame work ?

belltech 3" drop shackels, option to remove overloads for another 3/4" drop and as zach stated drop the torsions.

my belltech shackels were 55 bucks.

What about the common questions about airbags.I think theres a lotta mis- informed people on who needs them and what they do.

This is too much fun.
I need about $10000 dollars just to get started.

How do you know if your shocks are good or not? 33k on an '04.

Is that the question?

No really there is a reason I am looking for all the common stuff that comes to mind. So please keep them all coming and I will do a update to the top of the thread to clean up the Q/A's to read.

I just installed new keys, new tires, and had the alignment done. The problem is when I am at highway speeds 60mph and above I get this swaying motion. It feels like the truck is fighting itself to stay straight, almost like a floating sensation. It feels really unsafe and now debating whether to go back to my stock set up. Any info why this is happening. Thanks
