Q & A "Suspension"

Alot of common questions pop up with new truck owners and members. Lets think of the most common questions that you say "man that was just asked". We all can post to a new guy, hey use the search button but being a new guy or not familiar how ever thing works sometime is alittle hard to find what you are looking for with reading a long thread. I want to start listing all those common questions and I will try and answer them and maybe we can end up with a really good thread after cleaning it up and making a sticky for members to get the simple answers fast.

I figured what I would do is, as the Q & A's stack up over the course of the thread I will cut and past them in the 1st post so we can talk about the Q & A and other can post them but if a new member clicks on the thread all the Q & A's are on the 1st post so they do not have to search and read the complete thread. Sound like a good idea?

I should be able to edit my first post so I think it will work out.


Come on guys !!! What are all those first questions. Simple stuff a new truck owner would have on the suspension.
