Default ups came this morning

they brought me my rancho shocks and struts, my slotted rotors with pads, looking forward to spending the memorial day weekend swapping out the parts. might even go ahead and get new swaybar links also. truck has 72000 miles on it and still no issues with the brakes. but i figured, get them now, gonna need brakes sooner or later. and the struts. well cruising down the highway at 140 kinda sucks, with the frt end bobing up and down

72000 miles already? dang! I have 33k and am aggravated at that. Be sure to let us know how you like those rotors and pads. Whats the brand name on the pads?

joe, when your truck becomes as fast as mine than you can squabble, until then shut the (F) up, ha ha ha. it is getting to be kinda a safety hazard going down the highway and over bridges. if it begins to bounce and you hit were they piece the bridge together. the frt end tends to walk. it is great at the track, backend squats and away you go. but i cant see wrecking my dak.
