    Rodger said by the blue/yellow markings they were #550. the ones he sent were red/white/blue markings. he didn't say and they weren't marked as to what # rating.
    I drove it this morning on some on the roughest roads I could think of and it did great. I could feel the difference as soon as I pulled out on the road...:bouncy:
    Earl, Jeff and I are planning a two day trip in the next couple of weeks. I will know better on it after that.

    Man- U been driving a long time w/ the ruff ride; kind of feel like when removing the bottom leaf from the General 4 leaf rears? Kind of like when I changed my spring saddles to roller perches , made difference in seat-of-pants.
    Glad U got it sorted out -- a bad riding/handling no fun to drive.

    not always ruff. I just noticed it here lately that it felt stiffer than usual.
