Terryj,
I've got 118k miles on my truck and still have the stock shocks and struts on the truck. Regardless if they will or will not improve the ride quality, I think it's time to replace them. If I jump on the trailer hitch, they seem to still rebound nicely, but that's really the only way I know of testing them.

I agree, at that mileage they should be replaced.

 

Matt, check out Extreme Off-Road in our vendors section or the ARB website.

 

Matt, have you figured out what you're going to do yet? Which shocks you are going to go with?

 

Nope. I'm probably just going to wait a little while. I'll have to end up spending around $400 by the time I buy the shocks/struts and then have them installed. I've got a wedding to pay for and since I'm not convinced that new shocks/struts will improve the ride comfort (I think the OEMs are as soft as a shock will get), I'm just going to wait. I'd love to give the Sensatracs a shot, but not right now. TerryJmatthew, if I'm down close to Auburn (and I will be in May when my brother graduates) I may look you up and test drive your truck if you don't mind. I'll keep ya'll posted.

Matt

 

OK what does OME stand for. I always thought it meant origional manufactuers equiptment. Am I wrong?

 

OEM=Original Equipment Manufacturer
OME=Old Man Emu Suspension

 

Ahhh. Thanks for clearing that up
