2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Looking For The Best Shocks 99 2500 4x4

[VHolloway]

i HAVE A 99 2500 4X4 AND IN NEED OF SHOCKS THAT RIDE NICE AND LOOK GOOD AS WELL

THE TRUCK IS NOT LIFTED IT HAS 285/75/16 TIRES BFG MT

I have used many different shocks in the past and personally I think the the Edelbrock Performer IAS is the best !!!

I beleive Bilsteins are very good for the money. I have run mine almost 100,000 mi. and they still work well

[VHolloway]

I just put the zinc plated Bilsteins on my 99 4x4. They look good (almost chrome), and ride great.



Bought them from TDR site vendor eshox.com. good price and fast shipping.

I believe most people run Bilsteins or Rancho 9000s

 

[SnoKing]

If you tow a 5th wheel trailer put Rancho 9000's on the rear. The ride difference of setting them to 1 empty and high numbers when towing works very well. Front weight is pretty static, so I put Rancho 5000's on the front. 5+ years without a problem. SNOKING

I'm not a fan of the Rancho's. I had a set of the 9000's on a Toyota with the in-cab air adjustment set-up, and over a period of one year, I went through two sets of them. They kept puking fluid. Luckily, a local shop where I bought them swapped them out via warranty. My recommendation is a monotube design, and if you plan on being real crazy, maybe look for some of the remote reservoir styles. I'm contemplating them if the prices come down a little bit.

Skyjacker at about $35 a piece.

SkyJacker... .

Thats what I installed at EEP this summer while working on the truck. SkyJacker Hydro 7000's and I was amazed at how nice the handled and rode. Very cost efficent and while I am not one for the white shocks on my red truck,they do break up all the red somewhat.



I had ran the Edelbrock Peformer IAS series shocks on it before thee and loved them also. The one drawback was they,Edelbrock,would not do any type of lifted shock for a leveled suspension for a 2500 or 3500. So I gave them to a puller I know who put them to good use and as far as I know he still has them... ... ... Andy
