Shock suggestions
I'm trying to decide what shocks to get and looking for suggestions. 72K5. I won't be doing any wheeling, just cruising around town and daily driving. Any suggestions?

Re: Shock suggestions
With shocks, and usually anything else, you get what you pay for. If your doing a lift, I would get the shocks from the same vendor since the parts are usually matched to each other. It's somewhat subjective, one persons hard ride is anothers soft ride. If your running your stock springs I would go with a shock along the lines of a Rancho RS5000 or Skyjacker Nitro shock. I've heard good things of the Bilstein shock, but they are more pricey. There are others of course, these are just the ones I've been looking at.

Re: Shock suggestions
Run naked through the produce isle, that'll shock 'em.

 That'd shock them alright - I'd imagine they would give up the groceries
