I have a '01 screw that is about to be dropped on the 2/3 hotchkis setup. The bilstiens bottom out. What else is good. Thanks.

I have a set of Doetsche. While doing my research I never came across any comments against this brand. I paid about 40 bucks each. They've been on the truck (with a 3/5 lowering kit) for a year and no problems so far.

I agree with the previous post. i have had the same shocks for a few months, and no complaints here. i like these shocks better than RSX ranchos.

 

I am thinking about using the Hotchkis 2/3 drop but was wondering if the ride quality suffered much because of the almost straight rear leaf spring. This Kit lowers the rear without new shackles and hangers...correct? Also will my stock shocks work after the Kit is installed until I can upgrade to better ones? Thanks in advance for your time.

Thanks for the shock info. Where can I get these?

The hotchkis setup is great. The back feels better the front is a little stiffer. I feel the truck would benefit from new shocks. Other than that, it works better
