shocks advice

[trx88]

ive got a 96 silverado k1500 lifted 6susp 3 body

i love my truck

im not sure what kind of shocks are on it but im pretty sure they are junk

i want to know what im looking for in shocks here

my buddy got some pro comp es1000 off ebay and they are a joke

in fact he put his old ones back on in the rear

im looking at the es9000 because i want a good gas shock that makes my truck feel nice and tight and sturdy

its all over the road now and this has been a long time coming

any ideas?

im looking at the mx6 pro comp and the bilstien

the only thing is i wonder why the bilstien 4-6" lift truck shocks say 4-6 in front 2-4 in back

is it because my blocks are not 6 inches?

need advice

go with bilstien over procomp anyday. get some 7100s and never look back.

Ooooo those are fancy. How do you know which one to buy?

looking at the 5100s

i was all about getting some 7100s for my truck ( i do alot of sand dune playing ) but im going to go with some standard ranchos for now so i can finish buying the things i really want/ need. those 7100s are about $179 a pop but i belive they are completly rebuildable. if i had a boatload of money i would have them on every lifted vehical i own! get bilstein! and remember its pronounced BILL-STEIN he is the owner/ creator or whatever. i just hate hearing people say blistein or w/e, just and fyi

I have a 98 chevy silverado with no suspension lift and a 2 inch body lift, what kind of shocks would ya guys suggest? and fairly reasonable price

Bilsteins.

anything less and you get what you pay for.

 

[Farmerdan91]

Do you by chance know a product number or a specific name of shock? I go off road hoppin fields and stuff quite a bit, but do in town drivin every day for school.

 

[Tony_SS]

No I don't know a part number.. I do plan on getting a set soon... Rock Auto prolly has the best prices. I still have the original shocks on mine at 177k!
