6 in lift what shocks?

What front and rear shocks are you all running on your 6 inch lift trucks?

Bilstein 5100's on the front and the RC rears that came with the kit. Eventually I want to change out the rears with a set of Bilstein's.

I got the BDS 6" replacement struts that came with my kit and I have Fox Racing 2.0 shocks in the rear.

Nice looking truck I was looking on 4wheel parts.com and couldn't find anything for a 6 inch lift maybe I didn't look hard enough.

Thanks AZ, yeah there arent a ton of replacement struts you can get for the 6" kits. I know they have the 6" 5100 bilsteins, you can order the 6" or 8" ones from BDS like I have, Skyjacker has one in their 6" kit but I dont know if you can get it separately, also Superlift has some as well. The easiest way would be call Skyjacker and Superlift and see if they sell them individually. BDS ones I know you can get separately. The 6" Bilsteins you can get from Topguncustomz.com and you can get them in a kit with the front 6" struts and the rear 3-4" shocks for like $450 I think. The possibilities for rear shocks is endless. Bilstein, Skyjacker, Fox, King, Fabtech, Pro Comp...to name a few.

For the price Bilsteins, but you could go full blown coil overs.
