Some other thoughts on "no shocks". We see a LOT of broken front leaves in springs and even more cracked and broken front crossmembers. We are virtually certain that this is caused by driving without shocks. Overlooking the awful way they handle without shocks, the frame and front spring take a terrible pounding without them. Even if there's no way to afford rebuild/replacement of the rears, at least re-do the fronts - the difference they make is nothing short of amazing. If you'd ever driven a car with them, you'd know what you're missing. |
