I meant gas magnum. I was thinking gabriel gas matic.

I have a lot of body roll with Monroe sensa-tracs that have less than 10k on them. The lack of a sway bar might have something to do with that though.

When you get them you should cut them up and sleeve them so you'll have quick disconnects.

how are these gas shocks? never really invested in shocks, but when i was under my truck yesterday, noticed they were rusted and had some heavy corrosion spots.

truegent...why did you link us to the "cop shocks" page?
having ridden in many a' police car, they always seem to ride real nice, though.

on a serious note...i'm going with the pro comp es9000 . my buddy has them on his ram for just under 20,000mi and the ride is real sweet.
