broke my 90/10 shock.. have a couple questions
okay so I took my c10 out last weekend for a cruise, came home and parked it. The next day I noticed a puddle underneath it, so i looked under to find this:
I don't remember hitting anything or doing anything out of the norm. that would cause my shock to break off.
Now I'im not sure what number shock this is, but i am assuming that it is the competition engineering c2615 shock that is supposed to be for my body style truck. But the thing is I have 3 inch drop spindles on it which should change what shock i need. Now i bought this truck as a roller 3 years ago and this was the front end set up it already had. But being that this is probably a shock for a stock ride height truck, then there is a chance that since its lowered i bottomed the truck out at some point and sheered the shock of.. that's my theory but I'm not sure if that's exactly what happened or not..
I was hoping someone has a similar set up and can help me out.
So my questions are:
are these shocks worth replacing with what they are?
If i keep the same shock do i need to buy 2 and replace the other one as well?
Do i need to do a completely different shock that's set up for a 3 inch drop spindle?
Should i spend a little extra money and upgrade to something better?
Thanks!

Konis, Bilsteins, Ranchos, & others probably have an offering for you as well, besides CE.
I'd buy 2. Some things to me, only should be replaced in pairs; some may say otherwise, but if it comes in 2, & u can afford to do so, get a pr.
Plus, you've already had then for 3 yrs. & who knows how old they were when u got them. Looks like they've gotten some use already.
Did u even look up what that shock fits? Like whether it's a drop shock or not? While it probably sits funny now, it woulda been nice to establish compressed, extended & ride height of the CE shock. Then compare it to the stock OEM shock. Then factor in a 3" drop.
A quick search took me ~1-2 min. this is 1 of what I found, it hads your dimensions. Now, just figure stock & go from there. Looks to be $55-70 per shock thru various sources, some other place(s) may be more / less.

Right and i have looked this shock up to find its supposed to be that c2615 shock, i just cant find any numbers on my shock to verify that that's what i have.
But i think i will end up just buying a pair, and still got to do a flip kit on the rear and build something similar to a caltracs set up and i think i should be able to hook just fine.
i more than anything just wanted to see if by having drop spindles that would change the shock that i need.
