he might have replaced all 4, but the rear shocks will in no way give you any added height so it's not a necessity to get the look he has.

alright I think I got it now. 06yz250f what do you think would be my best route? I've already got the spacers I'm going to order now to give me the height look of marshal with the slight rake to the front what do you think is my best option? thanks for all the help btw.

if you are wanting to go cheaply, just go AS if they have the right front/rear kit that you want (assuming same height as marshall) if they don't i'm sure you could call and they would put together the correct rear block and front spacer size. keep stock shocks.

if you want to go best ride route, i'd go with bilsteins all around and a rear block (w/e size marshall has)

if you want to go in the middle, bilsteins up front and rear block in back and keep stock rear shocks.

i'm going to just do a 1.5" or 2" spacer on my front and leave it at that at some point in the near future. i see no reason to replace brand new shocks right away and eventually add an AAL or bags for towing.

Yeah good idea I dont want to replace brand new shocks I only have 700 miles on the truck. I think I might do the bilsteins in front but I don't know yet. decisions decisions!

the rough country shocks are not as bad as he is making them sound. no they are not bilsteins or king or fox shocks but for the price they are a decent shock and don't ride bad at all. i have them with my lift kit and don't mind them at all

alright thanks for the info! I've decided on either the AS kit or the bilsteins.
