snakedoc67 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I will be going thru and replacing all the worn out suspension parts on my truck this next week and looking for opinions on the best kits/manufacturers for the bushings, shocks, etc.Will be using it mostly on pavement with some towing and occasional off road in the form of fields and mostly looking for smoother ride and longest lasting. Currently have 235/75 R15's on factory rims with the stock setup. While looking thru the forums have seen a couple that discussed using airbags. With a stock setup, would there be any difference in the ride if i installed airbags as helpers, especially in the rear and does anyone know of a kit, preferably bolt in as my welding skills don't exist yet.

88ComancheMitch Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'd just use Moog. They seem to fix alot of suspension issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMCJeepMJ Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I used poly bushings for my rear leafs and front/rear sway bars; the rig stays flat on highway ramps and cloverleafs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeep Driver Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Have someone rock the steering wheel while you look underneath and watch what is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldseddie Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Could be warn steering gear. They are adjustable but if you aren't familiar with a Saginaw box you can make it worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
