Default SHOCKS ABSORBERS & FLEX FANS

Any opinions on which shock works the best for ride control on a 2004 1500 quad.

Has anyone noticed a dif in fuel econ. after installing a flex fan?

Hopefully somebody can make a recommendation for shocks...My O4 4X4 really bounces on the freeway. Of course the freeways in Calif really Suck....From problems I've had on other vehicles using a flex fan I would not recommend changing it....I've gotten up to 19 mpg in my Hemi cruising on the freeway, and get a average of 14.5 around town....Of course you have to drive with a light foot to achieve any sort of mileage...

Thats the problem I get, the bouncing on the freeway. Is this common with all dodge trucks on California freeways or is it with all trucks?

I have bouncing on a few freeways...15, 91, 10 and 60. Once I get out out on the open road it seems the roads are better maintained. My truck runs really smooth when I tow my boat, but at 11 mpg towing it is not a practical solution...
