    What are the most comfortable replacement shocks

    I want to replace my shocks. I am not looking for performace, rather comfort. I no longer tow and will not be going off road. I am just looking for a luxury ride feel. Yes I know it is a SUV, but if possible I would like to attain the most comfortable soft ride I can. Thanks

    What size tire to get?

    I am running 305/50 Yokohama Geolanders on 20" rims. I am debating whether to go smaller width to save gas, go taller for more ride comforts since I lost sidewall going from 16" to 20". My set up right now is already 2.5" taller than stock diameter, giving me the difference in side wall by...
