<p>[QUOTE="dave26027, post: 5392166, member: 33137"]I did the research and read all the threads, then bought Roadkings for the steer and both drive axles. Spent the day installing them. The drivers'side steer axle shock was a challenge, the upper mount was behind the primary fuel filter and you do have to manhandle them to install them. Lining up the holes was tough. The drives were easy, i just lifted the frame by unbolting the suspension air valve and lifting it way up, then lowering the suspension with the shocks sitting in the mounts. Then, they bolted in with no problems.</p><p>So, i don't have any unreal expectations for these shocks. I took a risk and it will take a long time to break even compared to other brands. I bought them to reduce downtime by not having to put the wagon in the shop once a year and to minimize vibration damage. Oklahoma's U.S. 69 is rough enough right now to break a lot of trucks and i end up driving it often.</p><p>So, i'll visit once in awhile and follow up with updates, good or bad. Thank you Drivers for your stories and info cause it helped to make the decision.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
