Default Video of Shocks Performance

here's a video I just got around to uploading, inside the truck is me and my friend dakota, in my 2005 dakota. We hit a small ditch/dip in the dirt going about 35 or so...just look at what happens.

MY VIDEO HERE

This is why Dodge should get better shocks, although, i do have to say, I didn't see one thing damaged on the truck, meaning you can beat it into submission and it'll ask for more!

That's insane,we have some washed out logging roads around herebelieve me in any brand ofstock truck the results are pretty much the same,the offroad package might help,There's easier ways of installing a moon roof than trying to bust thru the roof with my head.

To be able to handle roads like that effeciently, you would need an entire new suspension setup. Check out this site, they are number one for offroading hydraulic/air shocks, coils and coilovers.

i personally think if you yelled v-tech that is fast you might have been able to clear the ditch. but i do agree the frt suspension does need a hefty upgrade.

Look, they progress in size

And ya Jim, start yelling random stuff when you hit bumps like that...maybe a flux capacitor will kick in and you will rocket propell into space....

Or.. something.
