Stanley -
The ride is so much more improved both in handling/cornering (way less sway around corners) and smoothness over bumps. I was previously running on the factory shocks at 80K mileage, and this is a night and day difference. It's mostly a daily driver on the LA freeways, but I like to have the ability to go offroad too (which I haven't yet :sobbing
My girlfriend drove it a little and even she noticed a big improvement in the ride quality. Everything just feels "tighter" I would suggest using the second setting (.85) to bring the front up a little, I truly believe it helps with the cornering. There is still a little rake with the rear higher, but it looks dang near level, nothing like the ridiculous rake from the factory. I think the wife would be fine with it, cause I think it's smoother than before....

Ordered the shocks from Off Road Warehouse in San Diego, with a 10% off sale for halloween (they run sales like this for just about every holiday) and FREE SHIPPING for about $360 (all four, came in a kit). Got them installed today for another $350 including alignment. Great way to level the truck without getting into spacers and all the potential problems that could occur.

Will try to post some photos tomorrow. I spaced and don't have any before photos though!
Next up, my 90K service. Timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, fluid changes, lube driveshaft, flush brakes.
I LOVE THIS TRUCK!!!! :guitar3:
