Lowered Shocks

I have a 3/4 belltech drop and the shocks that came with it suck. I'm finally tired of them enough to pony up and buy an upgrade. I was thinking bilsteins, anyone recommend anything?

Look into Nitro drop shocks. I think those are the ones I've heard good things about.

A buddy of mine had Bilsteins on his Screw with a 3/5, so I would imagine they would be ok....

eibach makes a great shock, personal experience, they had about 80k on them when i wrecked my truck, and still rode nice and tight

toxics are okay, probably comparable to your ground force

ground force also makes a top of the line type shock, which i havent heard much about but seems pretty well put together.


I dont believe the eibach dampeners are available for the 97-03s

thanks for the help, smartass yet funny po-go stick response included, but I don't think eibach makes that shock for a 97. Probably just end up going with the bilsteins, I have always had good luck with their stuff. Ill be buying this coming weekend, if anyone thinks of something for my year truck they recommend more, let me know.

Bilsteins are a good choice.
