    I bought my first set of drive RK Shocks for my steers in 2012 , replacing a set of Monroe shocks that were installed 5 months prior. After buying the steers I was so impressed that a bought a set for my drives.

    It is now 2018 and getting only my second set of RK Shocks in SIX “6” YEARS. Monroe shocks only lasted 5-6 months were my RK Shocks lasted 6 years.

    Not only did my handling improve drastically over the Monroe shocks , my truck handled like a sports car cutting through woods, its cutting through the woods in central Kentucky, middle Tennessee to Arizona to Utah.

    Heading east and west, my truck did NOT lean north because of the wind. It stood straight up. Passing and being passed in the wind , no more pushed around by the wind, stayed stable.

    My drive not only improved by installing RK drive shocks, but the life of my drive tires lasted longer and wore more evenly.

    Again I just ordered my second set of RK Shocks. My first set lasted 6 years, so that meant not buying new Monroe shocks every year, the labor costs and the time in the shop and more time with my family.

    You know they're good shocks when they even improve how the air ride cab is affected in the wind.

    I was kind of considering what he was saying until he got to that. Shocks are not support, they just damp the motions.

    Sounds like a sponsor to me.
     
    Grubby and Hulld Thank this.

    Yeah, it was about as scripted as Hillary trying to relate to middle class Americans during election season.
