Re: which shocks?
 
I have 2.5" spindles and 2" springs. At first i used the stocks, which bottomed everywhere, then I tried summit's G7727, which weren't much shorter than the stocks, Summit was great about swapping them for their G7728's which seem to have cured my bottoming part...I no longer grit my teeth when I see a speed bump. They are the Doetsch tech brand. In the back I just use extenders....I would still prefer something a little shorter than summits g7728 if I could have found it, but right now those g7728's work fine.

I was told to stay away from Doetsch brand by a good trusted friend of mine...he said to get Bell Techs...and not that I'm against getting Bell Techs, I would rather get something from a parts store in town so I can have it now...

well, I know I didn't get many suggestions, but I think I'm gonna go with the Bell Tech Nitro 2 drop shocks...I can get them from stylintrucks for $37 a piece and free shipping or have them here overnight for $23 more
