I know your wheels won't rub.
The shocks and struts sound pretty cheap. I don't have a clue but you do get what you pay for.

gas ryders are made by Gabriel if I remember right, they are good for the money you pay for them but they are a pretty standard shock....definately not a preformance part, but they ride pretty nice on the boat (4000lb buick) I installed them on.

basically, i dont want to be bottoming out every bump or dip because my struts and shocks were giving in too much. Oh well, i guess you never know untill you try. Maybe even a stiff spring with a not so stiff shock/strut setup may make the ride a little less harsher. But then again you lose out on the performance side. But this is just a temporary solution till i get all the other bugs worked out.
