What to get first.

[griffgoody]

I have a 197k mile GN. It's rides like a tank. Every hole you hit. It seems like its gonna come apart. On a budget like most folks. What would be the first thing I need to purchase for a smoother ride. Shocks are about the only thing i've changed about 5 or 6 yrs ago. What should I buy first. Thanks for any info.

Body mount bushing make a huge difference as well. Cost about $110 from Jegs.

I've also heard that the fully body mounts works good. If so, how much are they and who makes the best ones

Which ones do y'all think is the best kit. Prothane body Mounts. Or the Energy Suspension Body Mounts.

They're almost exactly the same.

Prothane are usually a bit harder than the energy bushings from what I've read.
