I really wish I could have afforded the shocks when they were giving these away. I figured it would have reduced the cost overall by just selling it.

Honestly, I wouldn't bother but that's me. I like to leave my stuff on one setting for the most part and in the event I wanted to go offroad or tow something, I can take my young lazy *** and bend over and turn the dials on the shock frame. Seriously, how many times do you think you would adjust them??? I can understand if you were older or impaired in some way, but everything made today makes everyone out there so freakin lazy IMO.

I say put it on Ebay for like $175 and someone will chew it up. Use the money elsewhere.

I got my set of 4 during 4wheelonline's special buy 4 get the myRide free. Haven't installed the shocks due to don't want to do that then have to do it again when I get around to lifting her up.

I noticed on one of my shocks cylinders has a small ding of a dent. About 1/4-1/2 the size of a dime, anyone think this may affect anything during operation?

I guess I'll be selling my myRide as well ^^ I can't see it being too much trouble hopping out and adjusting it. Seeing I don't off road too often either.

like 1's all the way around? that would just seem too bouncy to me.

i'm usually at: 7-8 fronts / 5-6 rears stiff sport ride

i'll go down to 4 frt / 3 rear if I go on a bumpy dirt road

not bouncy at all. takes bumps more like a caddy now. of course you'll never get caddy like ride without riding on air but this works. have yet to feel them with something on the hitch or bed. got myride system in mail yesterday. also didn't see reason for system so checked ebay. 3 items listed, 1 for 189 and other 2 for full retail of 260 and no hits so figuring its not worth selling. guess ill just install it. plus can use compressor for other reasons like portable air compressor for emergency air in tire situation. or even future air horns...we'll see

My buddy with an 08 chevy has the ranchos with the myride, and his has been in 3 times since he got it because of problems with it. He told me to stay away from it, said its great when its working, but doing that 3 times in less than a year, hes sick and tired of dealing with it. And when its not working it really rides like $hit.

Would appear I now have no intention of using this in junction with already great shocks.
