    Good lubrication and still Hemi's are failing.

    The lifter issue is one of the reasons I got the Maxcare warranty. Sucks that FCA would rather play the odds than fix the issue.

    Which shocks to get?

    I'd go with the Tokico's. They were my preference on my 1990 Mustang 5.0. Aftermarket Bilsteins have a great reputation for a reason, but OEM Bilsteins leave a lot to be desired.
