Default couple of questions.

I recently bought the 50 with 75k miles and would like to add some lucas additive to the engine (do you recommend?), If so which one and how is it applied? I went to autozone and there are many products out there. The next question is, I need new shocks but the truck has a lift (spindle 3-6 inches) do I purchase shocks by the model or Is it possible that I need special shocks? and last but not any tips on a new manual trans driver? (when at a stop light, do i keep the truck in N or in 1st with the clutch depressed?) I'm sorry for the multiple questions but I'm new to this and very eager to learn......

well i dont know about the additave. but when your at a stoplight I usually just throw it in N while im rolling into the stop light. bc if you hit a light right you can usually hit second while rolling and save a jump trying to get back to first. You have to remember tho, driving a stick is like a golf swing everybody does it diffrent.
