Toxic Shocks
I noticed that Summit is selling a Pro-Comp brand Toxic Shox. Has anyone used these on their truck?
Curious as to how they ride. Thanks, Ryan

Re: Toxic Shocks
When looking for lowering parts/shocks for my '06 I came across some pretty negative things about them.
But no personal experience?

Re: Toxic Shocks
I don't have them on my '87 but i'v used them on my '99 Hoe and they were ok one got punctured by something so i had to get another set and i went with Edelbrock IAS and there Awesome.
For the money the TS is a good shock if your on a budget. I think i paid like $39.00 a piece i dont know what Summit is gettin' for 'em. |

Not looking too good for the toxic shocks.

Re: Toxic Shocks
I ran them on mine for about 5 years with no problems. In fact, I still have them from when I took the truck to the frame.
When I get another set, I will get Edelbrock IAS'.
