What are you guys running for front shocks with a 4 or 5 inch drop, or are you using shock relocators? Currently have a 4.5 drop on front of truck i forgot what i put on but the shocks i have know have more travel than the monroe 33033's. Thanks in advance...

I'm going with belltech nitro drop 2's..

Here's the link to the ones I'm using. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BEL-8005/

Havent driven w/ them yet as I'm still building, but i think they'll work well.

I did relocate my upper mount...my shocks are 10" collapsed length and 14" extended, but you can find longer travel shocks for your application (these were leftover QA1 stock that I'm using).

thx guys, i found some dropped ones but was hoping more for a cheaper alternative, like maybe ones that were for a different vehicle but work perfect for our trucks dropped. Thx for the inputs.

The regular Monroe Sensatrac shocks (I think those are the same ones Ridetech/Air Ride includes in their kits) for our trucks have a lot of travel, and if you convert the upper mount, you would probably be good to go for the 5" drop and around $40 ea.

im running the CPP Nitrogens came with 4" drop springs - but they list em at $39/ea - the ride is stiff, but I like that (that sounds wrong)
