Hey guy's and gal's

Had to get drag link replaced today, one side was completely worn out.
I bought the truck 4years ago and have put less than 4000 miles on it. I thought it might have been the steering technology of the 70's as to why the steering was a little soft. Now it drives straight as an arrow and the steering is really tight and fun to drive, I would put it on par with the wife's 2001 mustang. It's that good. I just wonder if somebody before me put a quick ratio steering box in it.

Next on the agenda is rear shocks the bushings are cracked and worn out just don't know whether to go with air shocks (Hijackers) or gas adjust.
Any Ideas anybody?

Just finished my rear suspension--I used Edelbrock IAS shocks in the rear -and went to air bags----huge difference in handling and ride compared to air shocks and just the springs-

Did the same thing as Elcaminonyc, Edelbrock IAS shocks and Air Lift bags. They work great.
