[QUOTE="Bill Ellis, post: 528316, member: 59929"] As Tom says above, have to be careful in comparisons...even with the Tracs. The 04 brakes are far better than the 01 brakes so one can't logically state that ALL Tracs have weak brakes. The swaybar is subject to opinion based on ones driving style. The shocks, though, are a different story. The factory shocks are not rated for the spring rates of the Trac. They do not provide sufficient dampening, period. They do dupe the driver into believing that the ride is soft and sedan like as long as one doesn't hit any bumps. But, when they are required to do their thing, they can't. I would rather feel one bump one time hard than to feel it many times while the whole truck scitters sideways. [/QUOTE]
