If its just weight then how does 125 lbs or so dramatically effect the shock valving? Makes no sense and spring rates about 8% different or so according to gm? Srping mfg's are saying to close to care and all say the 220/440 lbs front/ rear spring range work o.k. with both v8 and v6 I just want to be sure. Maybe if a big difference in shock valving SS shocks would work better.Been through all this before on my 4th gen and all the great ride/control statements everyone claims but not really true in the real world of our increasingly bad roads.
Anyone with hard input on this please chime in. I think all with V6's would like to know
Thanks
