[QUOTE="Mark Keefer, post: 1014557, member: 71801"] Thanks for the tips guys. if this wasn't an everyday truck I would make it look like yours Hugh. looks good. I under stand the stiffer ride part. I replaced my rear in December 2013 as the vehicle I parted for my truck had a rear that had 265000 miles on it. At that time when I had to reconnect the shocks I had to lift the differential up about 2" maybe not even, till I could bolt them on. (shocks did compress when the truck was lowered from the jack) What I am looking at is like an independent suspension type bounce. I know the generation I have done not have that set up. I have drove about 5 of these trucks around over the years and they all had similar wobbling. What I was thinking was is that when (I hit the rough streets where it annoys me) the truck leans to the right the left rear (or other way around) shock doesn't have enough expansion and maxes out. That's what I feel is the issue. best example I could say is like a piece of wood being sea sawed back and forth. I mean if I have to live with it I will as it sounds like I will since the springs play a role in it For the record my truck is all stock except for the extra leaf [/QUOTE]
