I am running Doetsch-Tech drop shocks front and rear.
The ride is very rough to say the least. The front is is very harsh over bumps and imperfections in the road. The rear is very bouncy and harsh.
I know it's a truck, and I know it's lowered, but there has to be something better than this!
I was considering KYB GR-2 shocks. I found a supplier who sells them for a 2'' front coil drop. The rear I should be able to use stock length shocks with my extenders?
Besides KYB, how are the Monroe Sensatracs? I've heard good things.
Any other shock you can recommend?

The GR-2's are supposed to be a really decent shock for the money.
How much travel do you have before limitations (how much space between the front bumpstop & x-member; how much shock travel between ride height & max compression)?
How many rear leafs in the spring pack?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
