Default wich shocks...?

I had some 3"drop springs in my truck for a while, but ended up taking them off because the front end would bottom out very easily. I was told that I needed to change out my stock shocks for diffrent ones in order for it to stop bottoming out, is this true? If so wich shocks would YOU recomend. Again this is for the front ones. Thanks for looking.

Doetsch Tech is probably one of the more popular ones to run. Recently many have been happy with the belltech street performance shocks though. Personally though I am running some QA1 adjustable shocks. If you had stock shocks with the 3" drop springs, that was probably your problem, the shocks are too long for the drop.

Yeah your main problem is the height, i have belltech nitro actives, and they are doing alright. Doestch and street performance get good reviews
