I wonder if that would help it.
my truck empty is tolerable. with a loaded trailer is tolerable. with an empty trailer it's 80% as bad as the empty box truck - which is to say, nearly scary and definitely unpleasant.

490 from victor to bushnell's basin is the same, 90 through buffalo has a stretch around the curve that's similar too.

if it works for that I'd probably buy them L*

I've noticed those road whoops before....
I never wanted a red car.. always thought they were tacky and common...
I now have 4 very not common cars and they are all red.. :o

bolts original from '97?  If so, expect to replace them.

I meant that I hope they'll come out quickly.

Chances they are original but my truck came from the south.
