Shock Treatment!

Hey everyone,

Today I ordered a new set of shocks for my rosa, Rancho RS5000, out of the 4x4 monthly mag. The service is great! and better still FREE DELIVERY!!! that cuts out the middle man so i save a few bucks.

I too did this the first time i went off road. It pissed me off a little but it means that i have another thing to fix. The only difference is i did it the opposite way dropping off a small bank. With my trailer plug i have mounted it into the bumper itself and it is out of the way.

bad fuel consumption

that will make an improvement but with the figures you have told us it will not make the car that much better, you will be able to breathe a little easier and get a few more revs which may make a small improvement
