I have to agree with Jeff............. riding with no shocks is awful!! It feels like cruisin' on the water in a boat. I guess if you have a strong stomach then taking the shocks out is a good idea to get the extra drop, but I know that my b/f's truck had the shocks out for 2 days and I made him put them back in because the ride was awful. If you can handle it then go for it, but if you've never ridden in a truck without shocks before, be prepared. :bah:
