which shocks should i purchase?
I just recently lowered my lightning with hotchkiss 1.5 in coils and hotchkiss 2.5 leafs with jlp shackles set on the 3 in hole. I am still using stock shocks and was wondering which one do you all recommend? im not interested in drag shocks cause i use my truck as a dd. thanks

To keep it simple I'd just drop in a set of Hotchkis spec blistiens.

Shocks
I've got QA1's on mine and can adjust for DD or Drag Strip.

The QA1's are nice but I've read alot of posts about durability issues.

Why mix shocks? For a DD, I would use the Hotchkis Bilsteins all around.
