I’m sure this has been covered numerous times but I’m gonna ask it again...lol
‘97 RCSB 4/6 notched with rear shock extenders...
I bought this truck with all this already done...
The spindles are drop spindles, and I assume they went with lowering coil springs instead of cutting the factory springs...wheel alignment and that side of things is good...
Rear end is flipped and everything appears to have been done right...it does have shock extenders...but the shocks do like they still sit at too much of an angle to me...it seems like they should sit at a lil more closer to a straight up/down angle, than appearing to be at over a 45 degree or less to being in a side to side angle running parallel to the ground lol...but I guess the angle is normal...and the leaf springs appear to be factory OEM...
The shocks are basic Monograms and I’m guessing just for factory/normal ride heights...
The truck has a 4/6 drop I know it’s not gonna have the greatest and/or smoothest ride
no matter what, I know I gotta pay attention to the road, pulling into places with steep grades, etc etc...and I understand that the up/Dow travel I have is limited, and when I do bottom out I’m gonna feel it...and I don’t want to change over to coil overs or bag it...but I don’t like feeling like I’m floating going down the highway and to me it’s seems like I’m bottoming out way to easily and all to often...
So first things to go will be the Monogram shocks...so the question of the day is...lol
What’s the best shock for the 4/6 drop???
Bilstein, Belltech, this brand, that brand..?
Which model of which brand..?
If I have shock extenders in the rear do I need to order factory length rear shocks or do I need to order rear shocks for a 6” rear drop?
Do they make some sort of shock extenders for the front???
Last question...any other suggestions that will help my current set up other than some good shocks other than raising it, or going to coil overs or bags???
Thanks in advance!
