Shocks Question

I think I want to switch out my shocks on my truck. I have the ECE 4/6 drop and the shocks that came with the kit. I think they are a little stiff (at least I think it's the shocks).

Anyway, are there some "softer" shocks that I can use for a lowered truck that will give a little more to smoothin out the ride?

Re: Shocks Question

Looking at the kit online it looks like the KYB GR-2's came with it.
KYB's are GREAT shocks, but are a little stiff.

What lowriden said is probably right. The toxic's are going to be softer, or you might want to try some Doetsch Tech shocks which are commonly available too.
