Re: Suspension

So far the Doetsch Tech shocks I got seem to work well. Summit has them for $28.50 each, not bad for the price. KYB makes a nice shock too, but you will pay a bit more.

Re: Suspension

I got KYB gas shocks from Early Classic and I'm very happy with them.
I think I paid like $135 for all four.

Re: Suspension

I have the KYB gas also. Not sure on the ride yet, because truck isn't roadworthy yet, but they look and feel like they will be a good all around shock.
