who makes the dual resiovor kit? is the dual resiover just dual resiover shocks? if it is, it shouldn't make you ride go to ****, if anything it should make it ride alot better, and last longer becuase it won't heat up as much becuase it has more fluid for the shocks to work with

are the shocks rated for a half ton truck? or made for your truck? see if there's a way to find out how much weight they are rated for.

that depends on the shock if they are adjustable. Some are, some aren't. Rancho 9000x are i believe adjustable. Some other ones are. Fox makes great shocks, but hella expensive. maybe you can post some pics of the shocks and or find out what kind they are and check out there website to findout more information on them. Just do some research and you'll be happy
