Rear Shocks

Does anyone know of good shocks to use with the KP 6 link rear set-up? I just installed mine on my 86 GMC half ton short bed and with it at ride height the ride is tooo soft, even after raising it thinking the extra air pressure would stiffen the ride up, but its still toooo soft. So i thought if i get a nice stiff shock set-up it would help the soft feel on the rear? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks Michael.

Rancho RS 9000's, you can set them from light to can't compress them firm! They have an adjustment dial thats easy to get to, so you can play with them to get the ride firmness your looking for.

Re: Rear Shocks

I know a guy who put a 6 link on a newer chev and said the ride was too soft too. I wonder if that's just a trait of the canti? What kind of bags are you using? I'm sure KP would have shocks available for you. their prices for shocks I thought were good.
