Yes but ... they are very very heavy and they are really really beautiful and they seem to make you think you are more cool and special than other drivers and they pay me money every single month so you should buy them - Kevin Rutherford

Anyway, the Keto diet is the closest something I could try and better soon..I ate too many donuts over the winter. $29 for the program...not much to lose.KB3MMX, AnteyV and blairandgretchen Thank this. -
Anything is better than nothing when it comes to health - soldier on and good luck with it, whatever you try.
Note - Bose stopped production of that seat.
I liked the sound of it.
Folks scream at $350 for a coil over damper shock . . . it was a hard sell for a $5000 seat . . .TallJoe Thanks this. -
And I should be honest here, I spent close to $7k on RK shocks front, SR shocks rear, 2 new seats, 4 air bags on the drive, and replaced the existing Donvel air bags on the front end.
So it should ride well.
But given the tremendous physical strain this job puts on the body, why not invest in health ?KB3MMX Thanks this. -
Wonder if any of his followers ever think about that ?dustinbrock, Big_D409, Bean Jr. and 3 others Thank this. -
Still like his show...great time killer. Seriously, knowing your numbers and providing quality service to the customers are the best things to remember from his show.
He has mastered his salesmanship craft... Good for him.Tug Toy Thanks this. -

The price is beyond insane.
I would consider trying if it wasn't stupid pricing.
Pretty much all shocks are undersized for big trucks. My ride starts to deteriorate after about 60k miles.
Shocks are super cheap and you love in the trunk... Just replace as a wear item. No big deal. I get mine at about $45/ea.
Been using Gabriel , they seem to ride the best. I prefer the blue gas charged ones.Bean Jr. and blairandgretchen Thank this. -
But a 2001 KW T2000 - and the '95 Pete ? Sure did need something extra on the front.
I think they are basically a coil over oil damper shock - nothing new, probably fairly familiar to any off road racer - I remember them on the little Tamiya RC cars when I was a kid.
Exactly why nobody else employs the same technology in the Class 8 truck world . . . I'm not sure. They could probably do with some competition. -
blairandgretchen Thanks this.
