None of our CLT9000's, Frightliners, Kenworthless'es, or Pete's had shocks. What the hell good is a world-class shock absorber installed on a heavy duty suspension one ton UNLOADED pickup truck where the springs might flex a quarter inch if that?
I talked Celso into putting KONI's on his HD sprung E-350 and it rode WORSE empty. I was not a hero for suggesting he purchase them over Monroe's or Gabriels. You ain't seen chuckholes son 'till you pass the Rio Grande.
Put a load on those vehicles and the whole world changes. I purchased my first set of KONI's in 1966 and remain firmly convinced they are the Rolls Royce of shock absorbers.
Hoooo-eeee
The next thing I know someone is going to tell me that FRONT BRAKES are now mandatory on two axle tractors.....
