Shocks

I know it goes against your way of thinking, as long as your happy changing yours out when you do thats all that should matter to you. Mine are still good though
So my 2020 has 29k miles. When sitting in a turning lane on a 4 lane road, when cars pass me (especially trucks), I feel my whole truck rock. Is that a sign mine are going bad? I do pull a 6k travel trailer at times and it at times wiggles in the wind, but not often. I like the soft ride of my 502a, what would you recommend?

Unless your driving a VERY heavy vehicle-- its gonna happen, nothing unusual or out of the ordinary
Maybe if your in a loaded cement truck , deuce & a half or a 90K ton mobile crane it probably wont do that
Did mine on my '16 at 32K about 2 months ago. Left rear would stay collasped, rear took the whole time while installing the left side to fully extended. Junk. Fronts are next when it cools down around here.
I think it's about aerodynamic profile as much as, if not more than weight. I had a box van for a while that was far worse in this regard than anything else I've owned, and it definitely wasn't lighter. My XTerra wasn't nearly as affected, and it had crappy suspension and was substantially lighter than my F-150; I don't recall either of my VWs being bad at all, and both of those were lighter still (granted, I was usually doing the passing, not getting passed, in those).
