17" Magnum 500's

Those of you in My age bracket, say maybe -10yrs & up(that's ~50+), will well remember all of the shocks being sold marketed as 'radial tuned' in the '70's '80's early '90's when bias-belted tires were still readily available....and still OE on A-bodies to the end of production. The larger Mopars got radial tires starting in '74 IIRC. The dampers make a difference, & it goes way beyond just a "good pair of shocks" or "stiffer" shocks, even just dual jounce/rebound adjustable types fall short. Take a modern even basic strut from a car & it is dual gas-charged to be 'neutral' at ride height, which makes them a real F'n sweetheart to change(or the coil) even with a Brannick compressor, all of the damping & tuning revolves around the weight/spring-rate/strut extension at rest...the avg. Mopar guy/gal is simply not going to get this by buying 1.03" bars, good bushings, & Bilstiens...as good as they are.
I'm blessed that a back injury 16yrs on(which was really a 'final straw' after multiple one's I could ignore), I have been able to manage, with fewer relapses now that I retired from wrenching Pro........but when I'm in the ShelbyZ & I see something I can't avoid coming impact-wise, I still grimace & hold on & pray it doesn't set it off, I still work it plenty...but carefully.
