shocks!

What shocks are you guys running? I'm looking for something good and cheaper, but not bottom line crap. Any suggestions? I'm leaning toward sens tracs.

Re: shocks!

I'm running Nitro drop shocks.. they are decent but not as good as Bilsteins. Those are worth the money.

Re: shocks!

I just saw this in Stylin Trucks mag this morning and I orderd some for my Tahoe just this morning. They sent this mag to me last week.

20% off all the shocks.

Was $36 now $28.80 on Toxic shock

Was $41 now $32.79 DJM Heavy duty lowering shocks.

Was $60 now $48 on the new Belltech street performance shocks.

You have to use this code to get 20% off (ST907X9)

This will only last 2-3 weeks..

Hope that helps..

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.
