Default Replacement Shocks.......

I'm thinking of replacing my stock shocks at the time of upgrading to 19.5 wheels & tires.
Any opinions out there regarding better shocks than stocks? Just wondering.........

I put Bilsteins on mine, made it ride much better. The fronts were hashed by 50K miles. FYI, the fronts are a breeze, the rears are a PITA.

BTW, did you know Cofap is Portuguese for crap?

stay away from Rough Country Nitrogen 9000 series. Worse than stock. I have them on my truck and it bounces worse than the stock shocks.

I have a brand new set of edelbrock IAS performers that would work nicely on your truck... 0-2" of lift. would have used them on my current setup if they could have handled the extra 1/2~3/4" the front spring swap gave me...

If I can sell these shocks, I'll order the Fitch fuel catalyst now... otherwise it'll have to wait.
