I get mine from summit racing... they are awesome to deal with if there are any warranty issues with them.

Most of my driving is on the road. But I would still like something in between.

Just bought and installed a set of Bilstein shocks from Summit Racing. So far I really like them.

I got the Monroe heavy duty shocks (coil over rear) that I had to *WEDGE* in place with a screwdriver. Now, when I drop my trailer onto the hitch, the ***-end drops a mere ¾" in. rather than 3"

I just looked those up they seem like a really good price for a coil over shock like that. Should I get those for the rear and the the reflex for the front. How stiff do you think that will make my tuck? Is it better to be stiff or soft (No dirty jokes)? Also will doing the heavy duty rear mess with the height off the *** end. I'm planning on putting in front spacers to level out the ride but I really don't want to go over 3" higher on the truck.
