Greetings from Costa Rica.
Last week I finally had the matching N70/N71e shocks installed to go with my 861/862 springs on my '94 daily driver. To my dismay the truck still rides very firmly/jarring on bad pavement, which is everywhere down here. It does flex nicely, though.
Before the Emu shocks I had installed new factory Toyota Tokico ones. They felt nice at first, but after a couple of months they got harsh, too.
Will the Emu shocks/springs "break in" and soften up some? Would replacing the Emu poly shock bushings with new OEM rubber ones help?
My tires are 245/70/16 poor quality 2 ply sidewall with street tread and inflated to 29 PSI. Maybe taller/wider new AT tires would help?
Any thoughts?
