Need shock suggestions, truck rides like a rigid covered wagon
Well my truck is lowered 2/4 Belltech drop kit (F: springs, R: hanger/shackle), it also has belltech street performance drop shocks which are about 1.5 years old (20k on them) and it rides like a freaking covered wagon. You feel every single bump in the road. I run a decent 60 series tire so i am not rolling on rubber bands... I am just curious what shocks other run with a 2/4 drop...
Also i do i have a cnotch so it is not hitting in the back. But i left the stock bump stops on the front, honestly i have never looked at them, i wonder if it is ridding on the bump stops?

Im still on the stock shocks at about 100k and it rides very smooth unless its a big bump but any normal one it is smooth, do those shocks ride better than your old ones?

When I did my Hotchkis 2/4 drop, I installed the supplied shorter front bumpstops. Also, I'm running Edelbrock IAS shocks all around. They work as advertised and are softer when just cruising about, but they firm up as needed. I actually find them to be too soft over the rolling undulations in the road, but that's just me and how I like it to ride.

I'm doing the 2/4 or 2/5 drop on my truck this Saturday and I am going to try rolling stock shocks and see how they do, but I will be watching this thread to see what you guys are doing.
