I recently added some STRANGE ENGINEERING adjustable shocks for the rear.

You can only use them if the rear is lowered at least 2".

They are $120-130 a PAIR (not a piece)

Other adjustable shocks are QA1's and Penske, which cost a small fortune.

Take your time and make the right decision. The truck will still drive without shocks at all. You just have to be smart and not corner hard on irregular surfaces and such.

Thanks for the kind words.

This is the first that I have heard of the Strange shocks. Other than that, the only real option seems to be QA1s. The "drop shocks" are pretty universally reported to be junk.

The Strange shocks are single adjustable for rebound only. I have been told that the QA1 adjustment **** (single also) affects both compression and rebound, but that would be unusual, so don't quote me on that.

Both the Strange and the QA1s are expensive, but rebuildable.
