Re: K10 rides like a wagon.

I have had hydraulic shocks give a better ride than gas. Nitro shocks were developed for off road racing with trucks getting air and running fast over rough terrain to prevent cavitation from heated oil. This doesn't happen in normal use. It's not always the spring causing rough ride. I think Tuff Country EZ-Rides are the best off the shelf springs, from my experience. They are gas, but the Rancho RS9000 adjustable shocks are a true functional enhancement. I never messed with the in between settings. Ran on softest setting unless towing. Big difference. Truck swayed on softest when towing, rode perfect on stiffest towing, rode hard as a rock on stiffest otherwise, and rode same as stiffest with trailer when set on softest not towing. My experience is with those combined with EZ-Rides.
