Yeah, when they get used up the springs aren't as springy and the shocks loose some of the fluid/gas so they don't keep it as high.

 

Unless you have air-shocks or coil-overs, shock's don't lift or support a vehicle one bit. That's what springs are for. Keep digging.

What did I do to my truck cleared the snow off it.

 

Sorry but these shocks are combo fluid and gas with a coil spring on them. After they get used up they no longer help hold the suspension. I know, cause when I replace the shocks I always have to jack the trailer up higher when I want to hitch it.

 

So i found out! No adjustments were really necasarry, seems to run just fine as is. Only other issue is I lost one of the bolts to hold the distributor down....

 

Edit: Wrong thread. Oops.

 

Did you even read my post? So you have whats called a load leveling shock (a shock with a spring on it or a cheap flavor of a coil-over shock) Make your posts clear about these things.

 

Yes I did. It is a load leveling shock. I don't think it is a cheap thing either. They are Monroe Sensa trac or something like it. Has something like a 1/2 inch thick coil spring on it. Also has fluid reservoirs to help it last longer when it starts to leak.

 

Celaned my TB and IACV yesterday, as well as modded the TB. Used hack saw, die grinder, and sand paper. Came out nice. Feels good to.

 

Worked some more on the tree I cut down. Used the Ram to pull a few logs out of the way. Put $40 in the tank.

 

let the woman drive it today..... man was it weird riding shotgun in my own truck!

hopefully swapping out the v10 springs for a set of diesel springs at some point this week, while its warm.

kinda starting to get the diesel itch, and am thinking about getting a diesel next year......
