    So I live in texas. Kinda windy around here, and whenever I am driving, the wind seems to push my truck. Is there any way I can try to calm this down? I hate trying to fight the wind when driving. anyone have any ideas?:confused:

    I changed out my original shocks and rear leafs a year ago. Pricey yes, but man what a difference in stability! The original stuff SUCKS-they just get you through the first few years-IMO if you are still on them after like 70,000 miles they are shot.

    ive got the same problem..i replaced the rear shocks with bilstiens, but never got to the front..Im in the process of getting front bilstiens to see if this corrects the problem. its scary when that happens!
