Shocks are easy to replace with heavy duty ones like the Rancho 9000 or Bilstein 5100 shocks. $200 plus labor for two for the rear. $300 plus labor unless you do the install.
I went with the 3750 rated ties to gain load capacity so it was worth the expense. I would not have done this only to get somewhat better road handling as the stock tires were OK overall.
I thought the Bilstein 5100's were valved for more offroad use and not as much for "heavy" use??
Load index 126 or better tires are hard to find. Seems like Nitto is one of the few available. Your findings about the tires are interesting. I've wondered if a person would notice any seat of the pants difference.
