Lowered Dually Shocks

I need a set of shocks (front and rear) on my dually. Dropped 6” up front (3” spindle, 3” spring) and 9” in the rear (8” on the flip, 1” on the shackle).

I never did find the right shocks for this thing. Anybody have a shock they recommend? Preferably something available from a parts house like Napa. Shoot me a part number.

Re: Lowered Dually Shocks

Are you bolting them in in the factory location? whats the measurement with the weight in the truck from mounting point to mounting point?

Thats what I did on mine but they ended up being about 1.5" short. I ended up getting some belltechs

So what did you do up front?

...before the Belltechs.
