I’m reposting my introduction thread post here to see if I get more exposure and recommendations…..trying to decide on shocks! See post below from Introduction…..thnx
Howdy from South Texas! Just bought a ‘26 AT4 2500 Duramax. I’ve been running Ford since I bought my first F250 in 1976 and have been a Ford guy ever since with a few Chevys and Dodges along the way! I’ve been running a ‘21 RAM 2500 for the last 5 years and was trying to buy a Ford but they just don’t seem to want to work with you on price! After seeing the price difference between Ford and Chev/GMC I started looking at Chev/GMC and really liked the ride and the way they handle! Long Story short, I ended up with the AT4 and am glad I did! I really like the truck! I’m in the Hunting Business(almost 40 years) but don’t use a pickup in the pasture much any more……I have CanAms and Rangers for hunting. I use my truck to haul ATVs and my boat but also protein, cottonseed, etc to feed locations in the pasture! I guess what I’m saying is, I don’t take full advantage of the capabilities of this truck as an off road vehicle even though it does spend plenty of time off road…..3-6 miles off pavement to my camps! I’m really more interested in how the truck rides on and off the hwy…..that’s why I joined this forum….to get some tips as to how to set this truck up! I’ve always put Bilsteins on my trucks in the past and the RAM I just traded came with Bilsteins! Since I haven’t put them on a GMC, I’m just wondering if they are the best way to go or if you guys use another shock for a smoother hwy ride…..I plan to level the front end and then change the shocks if I get enough advice here to make that decision! Thanks and looking forward to learning from y’all!
