    Default Replacement Shocks

    95 Chevy 4wd bumper is nearly dragging the road, shocks are gone. What y'all recommend?

    Rear or front? If it's the rear than you may need new leaf springs. I have rancho rs5000 shocks on my 97 z71 and they're decent but I'd go with Bilstein 5100's.

    If it's the rear end, he'll fit in just fine with the kids in SC. Aynor Squat!

    I'm not sure what you peasants do, but would just drop it off at A2Z and ask them to take care of the situation...

    I just put Bilstein 4600s on my stock height '05 2500 about 3 weeks ago. Even though it has 300,000 miles, the ride is much improved. Highly recommend them.

    I haven't posted any because the pics don't really do it justice but it looks great. My inner 16 year old redneck could put up a lawn chair and just look at it.

    KRT put the 5100 leveling shocks on it with an added 1" block to the rear to maintain the rake.


    275/70R/18 wrangler duratracs for new tires so the front end gained around 4" and the back end 3".

    It's just hot IMO...

    KRT is the place to go if your truck looks like a minivan or if you just want quality service and super fair pricing.

    I am cheap, but even I buy Bilstein's.
