uh teh front shocks are also comfort gas shocks (same as teh rear) THe front shocks are like only 6months old and are totally ****t! Im thinking cos not only cos of the ride height that cause it its prob because of it sitting in the garage for a long time and it possibly not being a lowered type shock.. They are expensive to.. for $130 each!!! eeek Yeah so pedders comfort gas lowered type.. part number is 8100 from pedders.. The rear rides beuatifully!
