Rear shocks for a lifted screw....

Does anyone know for sure what shocks you can or can't run on a truck that has been lifted? Not many sites list if they work on a truck with a 6" kit, and some of the bilstein shocks are listed as working on trucks with up to 1" lift.

I been wanting to upgrade my rear shocks from the standard fabtech shocks to something like the adjustable rancho rsx9000 or maybe a decent bilstein. Looking at spending around $100-125 per shock but not much more.

Just a well needed bump!

Idk if you want performance or just stock ride but all i've ever seen are high end shocks from Fox racing and other stuff.

I have shocks from www.iconvehicledynamics.com in the rear and they are awesome. Not too badly priced either. You need them in the 14" variety. Call up and they'll get you taken care of and the valving is spot on for a nice smooth ride. Mike Crosby is who I dealt with.

Just wanted to bump this and tell you JESSE you are the man! LOL. I got in contact with Mike and after a few emails back in forth telling him what is on the truck and throwing in your name we finally got everything taken care of and I will have a set of these rear shocks on the truck now! Thanks for the help.

No problem man. I hope you like them as well as I do. I think one day when I have the scratch I'll upgrade to their 2.5 rear resi shocks.

Did I mention I've got a set of their coilovers coming??? I can't wait! This will be set number three going on the truck. Third times the charm I hope. The Fox and Fabtech just weren't up to my standards.
