Default Springs, Shocks, and Brakes

I think I need new springs and shocks. Are there any suggestions for getting new springs and shocks for my DII? How do I know for sure that I need new springs and shocks?

Also, what about Brakes?

Thanks!

How many miles on your truck, what do you use it for, be specific, and will you be adding extra weight in the form of a bumper and or winch?

Yes, your suspension and steering stabilizer are long since warn out.
Old Man Emu offers one of the replace suspensions, coils, Hd Shocks and stabilizer on the market, consider their medium duty set up which can be found on Lucky 8 at a great price.
Are you also looking for brakes?

Disco Mike-

Can you give me website link to get the shocks and springs? I am also looking for brakes. I am going to National Tire and Battery to get my front brake pads and rotors replaced. They told me they use the company that makes LR brake pads.

A good source to read up on them. Mike may have a cheaper source though.

E.E. and cheap are never mentioned in the same sentence. What Jon sells and his information is great but in this case, Lucky 8 has the best prices at $599 plus the stabilizer.

Lucky 8 has raised their price $25 for the shocks and springs but still cheaper then anywhere else plus Justin is a nice guy.
