I pushed down on the fender of my stock TJ and the truck bounced a little before settling. I know I used to hear that that is the way to check if shocks are going bad. Shouldn't the shocks be a bit firm and the truck not bounce before settling? Or is that normal?

Thanks Jeepers![addsig]

when you push down, it should return back up and stop... and depending on weight, might go back down a very small amount. have someone stand on the bumper and jump off... you stand back and watch.. its a good way to be out of the way and see what happens[addsig]
