New shocks?

What do yall recommend for new shocks front and back?

I'm wanting some shocks with a reservoir or piggy back but i have coilovers in front.

Whatever i get ill be replacing the Fabtechs that came with the lift kit.

Thanks
Joel

you got a 6" lift? well you can replace the whole coilover with swayaway's, king coilovers for 6" lift, or you can get bilstein shocks for the 6" lift that comes with the RCD lift kit, im pretty sure you can find a part number and order it separately i mean what am i gonna do when it comes time for my shocks to be replaced. the bilsteins use the factory coils though, as im pretty sure your fabtech does, or do you have the dirtlogics... but i anyways i would get the SAW's they are decently priced and respectable name

Ha, I agree Kings or Fox would be nice.

However i'm not looking for the top of the line just some good ones.

Also, do shocks with a reservoir make a difference in a daily driver?

What model Bilsteins? I've read some perty good stuff about them.

Any others, what about Fabtechs?

Thanks
Joel

the bilstein one for the RCD lift is a specific to that kit but can be ordered.. i could check under my truck but im lazy... btw you have said if you want to keep your coilovers or get a full on replacement... and also resevoir shocks make no difference in a daily driver, and if you had them wanted to use them, you problably need fender mods
