hey guys, i have a stock standard sierra and it is very ruff to drive, like little pot holes feel huge when i run over them. i was wondering if i upgrade my coils and shocks will it make much of a difference or are sierra's just a ruff car to drive?

and if anyone has any ideas on prices to upgrade my coils and shocks with no lift or 2".

cheers guys

coily i would guess?

generally sierras are ruff, short narrow wheel base will do that

What tyre pressures are you running. The tyre placard on mine say to run 20 psi which I used to think was quite low, but that is what I run now. Made the ride a fair bit better, but all in all you have to remember, it is a Sierra and the ride is never going to be great.

I think the best thing to focus on is the shocks, getting a comfortable shock. We have Ultima struts and shocks for $380 for the set of 4 including freight.
