I'm looking for shocks for my 2wd 1500, I recently added 2-3" on the front to level the truck out but my shock is riding around maxed out. I've done some googling and have only came up with some cheapy stuff. Any ideas on a nice set of shocks for my application?

 

Billstien 5100's. Or similar from other manufacturers. (KYB, Monroe, etc.) On the 4wd trucks, 2 to 3 inches of lift, you can still use stock shocks. Are yours getting fully extended at full droop? (using your shocks as limiting straps just doesn't work out well. )

 

Yeah my shocks I have on now are fully extended. I've found shocks for the lift but they are brands that I don't know much about. Do u think I could just use the measurements they have and find a 5100 with the sameish specs? Also can I use 4wd shocks on my 2wd?

 

I think the shocks mount different on a 4x4, but, having never seen a 2wd up close and personal.... Not sure on that.

If you can find shocks by dimensions, go for it. Don't forget to check compressed length. Using your shocks as bump stops is just as bad, if not worse, than using them as limiting straps.

 

I found some shocks finally and after checking the specs the 4wds have too long of a compressed length but skyjacker makes shocks for this specific application so I'mma see how they do. Can't be worse then what I got now hahaha

 

Well in the end I found some Bilstein 5100 with the right dimensions glad I waited a couple of days and took one last check truck rides nice just need to replace my rear shocks now
