there are like 1 billion different options. i have seen that most people prefer the bilstiens. i have also looked at the rancho rsx series and they make one that is for a 2 inch lift?

I just cant decide on what would be the best route to go? I have the t bar/shakle lift on my truck and 30k so have a roling boat like everyone else with stock shocks?


also where is the best place to buy them. My aftermarket parts hookup got bought out by napa(mfers)

sorry to be such a noob.

By lift, do you mean Body or suspension?

You do not need special shocks after a 2" BL. Nothing changes in your suspension with a BL.

I too recommend the Bilstiens :D

I have ProComp ES9000's and I'm fairly happy with them :D And at $30 a shock, they were easy on the wallet :lol:

How about the Edelbrock shocks from Perfromance Products?
They were $69.95 ea. back in summer of 2003 in my book that I found tonight. :lol: But you can goto PerformanceProducts.com and see what they cost now and order a new book.

in there catalog they had some designed for 0-2 sus lift also. i know that a body lift doesnt do anything to suspension

but now that i think about it and really need shocks and really dont have the money i just need something good to go on there.
