I have to disagree about using drop shocks. I had Deotsche shocks on the rear of my 5/3 daily driver that I hated. The ride was bone jarring. To add insult to injury the plating on the piston shafts was shot after just one winter.

I have stock shocks all around now and the ride is same as stock. I have spindles in the front and a flip kit and shock extenders on the rear.
