OK now we have these trucks lowered and will eventually need new shocks, how do we get shocks to fit our application? I think I have one making noise right now. Its just too cold to take them off and check. And what shock does a good job?
I went with the Belltech nitro drop 2's. They are made for dropped trucks ,no shock extenders, I am sure other companies make shocks for certain drops though if you dont like belltech. Once you do go with new shocks you will be surprised how good the ride is.

i was wondering, which is the best way to go and the more bang for the buck. 2/4" drop or 4/6" drop on a 08 1500 QC 4.7L? i really cant find anything for my truck.
