Got my radiator put in yesterday Nate. It had been just dripping a little, but Wed. it had a steady drip/stream coming out til it warmed up so I went ahead and let him put it in. $320 out the door, not too bad really. Saved me from having to get up under it bent over in it.

****ing plastic tanks.

Cooper ATP. That particular model is only available at discount tire direct. I love them, best tires I've ever had on a truck.

Shocks feel good. Back end doesn't want to step out as much over rough patches on the road at speed. Which was my biggest complaint. I'll be able to tell you better when the fronts come in and I replace.

I thought perhaps that was the Cooper but it's been so long since I looked at truck tire treads, I wasn't certain. I need to get back in a 4x4.

One of the things about pickups 25 years ago was that all of them were still so stiff in the back, if you got on one of those washboard roads you didn't know which direction the front was going to end up! Back then it was fun, but having the rear slipping out on you now is "no bwayno." I'll be interested to see how it handles overall once you get the fronts installed.

That's not bad at all. Especially since you don't have to crawl under there.

I like that some of the newer 3/4 ton trucks and maybe half tons are getting coil over rear ends to help with the ride.

I've only put a couple miles on these so far, We shall see how they do. The ones I got are the rancho rs7000 monotube ones. Supposed to be much better reacting, just hope it's not overly stuff for my application.

Not exactly full-size rally shocks, but yeah those will be more reactive than the stock shocks. They look good, I didn't know if they offered those in "Rancho Red," , but I like the black myself.

the 7k I've only seen in black with the polished lower. I really like it

I wanted a shock that I could go down gravel roads and trails and hit bumps and all at speed with no problems and it not beat the cabin to death. And by at speed I mean 25-35mph. I'm not looking to jump like a raptor or anything.
