getting ready to lower my truck, and am now trying to decide on the most "comfortable" riding shocks that are affordable (if there is such a thing)

whats your'alls experience with the different brand lowering shocks?

thanks again for all the good advice

I have the Belltech Street Performance shocks and like them alot. I have heard alot people don't like the Toxic's, but I have never tried them.

I agree. Belltech would be my first choice.
Doetsch shocks are also good. Look here:

becareful with the doetch shocks. Ive already had one blow out on me by sitting in the driveway. I think the freezing weather warped a seal or something. It really made me mad that a 6 month old shock needed to be replaced.

Here's another vote for Belltech. I'm very happy with them.
