[QUOTE="boneebone, post: 5470465, member: 27132"]If your truck had 160k miles riding on the Original OEM Shocks and you replaced them with a new Shock (regardless of Shock Manufacturer) it's only relevant that the ride would be improved. The age of the Original OEM Shocks could have degraded the ride over the course of time where the Driver didn't really notice that the Shocks were worn out because the degradation was over the course of a year or two. So when a new set of Shocks is installed, of course the Driver is going to notice a difference. I don't believe spending $2,500 on Shocks is going to give a truck a night or day difference, nor do I believe the ROI is worth spending that amount of money on Shocks when you can spend $350 and replace every Shock on your Suspension and Cab and have plenty of money left over to replace them again (7) seven times over. Additionally, you still have to pay money to have the Shocks rebuilt when the time comes. Me personally, I wouldn't spend that amount of money for Shocks because I don't see the value to justify the expense. I'm glad that the OP is enjoying them, they're just a little too rich for my blood.[/QUOTE]
