Sway-away, king, fox, FOA... they are all good shocks but your gonna pay for them.

but what are you doing exactly with the truck? Whats the specs... what are you trying to accomplish.

well I go to silver lake dunes and i broke my last shocks after stupidly hitting a hill at 60 so i just want something that will help protect my frame from getting beat up, somthing that might be rough ride but good for off roading

i have a 6 inch lift but stock size shocks/struts with a spacer .

nothing you put on that truck is gonna hold up to well to jumping. The truck is just not designed for it. What you really would have to do is get a long travel suspension.

But if you insist on trying to jump the truck id go with some type of upgraded shock (doenst matter what) then a set of limiting straps.

the truck is defiantly not designed for jumping, i spend 17 grand on a 40,000 mile truck so i wouldnt have problem now the things a piece of junk, not the happiest camper, defiantly learned my lesson on that one, the noises my truck makes now are just disgusting.


im thinkin about taking it to a dealership and just paying top dollar to get it all back together right.

and im scared as HE[[ to get my frame checked to see if its bent =/
