I really felt the road and at the same time felt the suspension handled everything the road threw at it. I realize they are very different vehicles but I'd like to get closer to that.
I'd love a shock suggestion.

From the standpoint of most people in the know... the whole Bridgestone issue was a combination of things. One was that the tires did seem to fail at a higher rate than Goodyear tires on the same vehicle and the second was that people were either setting their tire pressures too low or not keeping track of them well enough accelerating the failures as well. As for the vehicle having a tendency to roll after a tire failure... I remember reading somewhere that once the tire failed, Chevy Yukon's actually had a slightly higher chance of rolling.... they just weren't having the same number of tire failures.
Anyway.... that was longer than necessary.... all I wanted to say is don't let anyone tell you its safe to let more air out of your tires than the recommended pressure 35PSI.
