Thanks Bill.

I ended up using some Monte Carlo shocks in the front and not sure in the rear which were air shocks.
I never did pull the rear springs as the overload spring needs to be changed.
We have a place up in Portland Oregon called Oregon Spring. I give them what measurements I have and they re-arch the overload spring.

I started out and was going to put a Air Lift (bag in a coil spring) setup in the rear but never did. I really need too as if your going pack anything around, she will come down and pumpkin will hit the bottom of the truck bed. Done that a few times ;-/

I remember being a little on the tipsy side heading back home from a friends house and forgot the 30mph curve. I hit it about 70mph and Everything in the cab was up against the door and window, including me. She went around that corner like she was on rails.

The front shocks were some trick gas shocks. I can't find the book on her since the move and in that book, I wrote down what shocks I used. Hope to find it but even if not, they can take those off and match them up.
She still rides like a car too.
