Buy the parts for the 01 air type suspension and make it easier to change out next time

Changing out the springs and fluid will help some however isn't the ideal fix...
Sorry
get rid of the dunlops is the way to go...
I still had the imprefections in the road and the going from 1 lane to another was an uncomfortable feeling...the rain grooves were hair raising to say the least...the imperfections and rain grooves did improve after I did the progressive springs and screaming eagle fluid but it wasn't until I changed the tires fron the stock dunlops to metz that 90%of the ride improved, to make life without the hair raising experinces...

Thanx for the input. I'm gonna change the fluid and change both tires when the back one wears out.
