Re: Why would new shocks make the ride WORSE?

Darn right I will!

YAY! Now I don't feel so dumb. My mechanic had a heck of a time getting the shocks. His original source had declined his order three times, website showed in stock, different people went to the shelf and found none, so they kicked it back, THREE times! He went to another source, they had one set left, he said I got the last shocks for my truck on the planet. Thanks to CV-1984, manufacturing slowed or stopped, and warehouses became empty. He said '09 Dodge pickup shocks do not exist.

He also got the better ones:
KYB KG5416 (rear)
KYB KG5409 (front)




He also got the heater fan and back-up lights to work.

But, something like this is to be expected for a 52 year old pickup, he discovered something is missing.

I'm amazed how this truck has run as well, on modern vehicles when something is just a little off, it just quits working.
