Just put on some Air 1000's and KYB gas A's all the way around. Man what a big difference it made. I highly sugest it!

In what way did it make a difference? Handling or ride. I've got to put shocks on mine soon. Those are gas shocks you put on the front? Where did you purchase them and what did you pay for them? Thanks for any info.

I put the 1000's on and left the upgraded air shocks on disconnected air line and stock type front shocks. I see no reason to change the rear shocks but the fronts are too week and could use upgrade but been driving for the last 5000 miles very happy and have loaded the back fully several times with home condensing units and fill safer then b4. The frame I removed had only the air shocks and was used to haul a dirt bike regularly and tthis caused the upper shock mounts to be cracked broken I do not thing the shock mounts are design to handle that stress over a long period.

well, keep an eye open anyhow. everything was checked, everything was ok, but the drive shaft was hitting the bolt for the seat belt. even after replacing the shocks,springs, was still hitting.i even bought new front springs thinking that it could be leaning to much. but with the bags, no more hit. i even checked the tracking as you suggested.that one was a mistery.
