Re: CPP Nitrogen Gas Shocks - Lowered

Interesting, interesting.... Protrash64 you are running bags, how firm is your ride? And Choptop32, are you running springs or bags?

springs. 2.5 drop spindles + 2 springs in front, 4 springs in back.

had the nitro slammers on the truck and ride SUCKED. Put the Monroe Sensatrack back on the front and it smoothed out. I put the original Rancho's on the back and while they are too long (they bottom out) the ride was noticeably smoother.

that being said, I'm going to ditch the springs. I put gear in the back of my panel and with the springs it bottoms out, I need the flexibility that bags offer, and I'm not going to c notch the back. Bags it is.

this should help with the ride quality as well on several fronts.

Re: CPP Nitrogen Gas Shocks - Lowered

Does Monroe offer different length shocks for lowered applications? Can't find a definite answer via google

The 'burb rides like a Caddy IMO........my shocks were not nitrogen filled as far as I am aware. I originally used springs and spindles then bags...just re-used the shocks as they were brand new.
