Tokico Gas Shocks (.com)....
I have used the Trekmaster R/T.

It uses 'damping curve flexibility'. ( I read my box)....

The shocks are lifetime. I have a second set. They said, "Come and get a new set- yours are over 140,000 miles old" . I did. I now have 364,000 miles and I might get new ones for the heck of it..

The shocks manage the big & little bumps very well. I love them!
A great ride.

This is my personal suggestion.. I just like them, and their customer service.

OK thanks guys. got the rear back up 2" not sure if it needsd more, as I'm not sure of the original drop. I'll wash it and get some pics tomarrow.

(Not trying to push Tokico shocks)

But I like them. They make shocks for lowered & raised suspensions, with the same performance as the OEM lengths.

You should call Tokico for advice. They could suggest what would work the best for your driving.
