Let us know how it rides.

The rear shock mounts seem prone to cracking. Especially with the coil over shocks. I think ORD offers some shock mount gussets.

Do you have the front quad shocks?

Thanks guys! It rides a lot better. Its amazing what working shocks can do for an old 3/4 ton truck haha. It takes bumps at low speeds really well now. The other thing I notice is that there is less vibration when I'm cruising down the road at 55 mph. I thought it was just how 3/4 ton trucks ride with heavier springs (I've only had 1/2 square bodies before this), but after putting the coil overs on it rides much smoother at every speed. I threw the fronts on last night.
