Default Suspension

My front suspension on my 85 d150 needs to be replaced (it's not to cool when a ups truck passes me). And I was wondering if anyone has a link to where I can get shocks that will lower the rear end, to where the truck is leveled out.


THANKS,

Cole

Shocks have nothing to do with ride height.

What's wrong with the front suspension?

2wd or 4wd?

Springs and\or lift blocks control lift in the back.

Bouncing is controlled by the shocks.
Have you checked it over? condition of the ball joints, bushings, springs, etc.
