Thank you all for the responces. This site is priceless, not to sound like a commercial. WmHarlow you are right about if my hands aren't frozen. I haven't changed the shocks yet but it has been very cold here in NJ. The other morning I went to start my car and I could hear the car saying..."I don't think so buddy you forgot to plug me in". It was 25 degs. that morning. Would worn out shocks affect the ride height?
