Drag Shocks

Who makes a good drag shock for the front of our trucks? Anyone using competition engineering adjustable shocks? Thanks.

Re: Drag Shocks

im using a lakewood 90/10. i looked on their website for a measurement that was closest to a stock truck shock. i had to buy eye to stud and make my own eyelet for the top. it was a little long so i just cut the threads until the extended length was the right length. Dev

Re: Drag Shocks

71dragtruck, do you happen to have a part number for those shocks? And are you pleased with them? Are they ok for a little street cruising, maybe not ideal but ok?
