Yeah, the KYB Gas Adjust shocks work pretty well. The Bell Tech Nitro Drops are bouncy-bouncy. You might also try Early Classic's rear shock mount relocation kit, which stands up the rear shocks and gives them a longer stroke. It made a big difference on mine with just 3" drop springs. I'm thinking about Rancho 9000 adjustable shocks next time, if I can find the correct length. I had some on a Jeep Cherokee and they are very stiff, especially in the #4 or #5 position. Installing them was amost like adding thicker sway bars.

I totally agree on the shocks and suspensions products these guys suggested. I would recommend ECE products to anyone. How much do you plan on lowering your truck? If more than 2 1/2 in the front, Then try to get dropped spindles instead of cutting your springs. This will keep your steering geometry correct.
