New Shocks?

[Chace TX]

I have a new 3/4 ton 2wd. I put a bumper replacement on the front that weights about #250. The shocks are really soft and I get quite a bit of bounce with the extra weight. I noticed that most people are putting Rancho 9000's on their 4x4's but I am not interested in the adjustable shocks for the front of my 2wd. What suggestions do ya'll have? Also I would like to raise the front slightly, just an inch or so. I used spacers on top of new heavier coil springs on my 91 with good results, just wondering if there is an easier (cheaper) way to get the front end up. The back of this pickup sets nearly as high as the 4x4 Cummins I traded in but the front is really low. I just want to even it out a little.

Thanks,

Chace

Here comes the shock "Discussion" again. As usual I vote for Bilsteins. Best thing I ever did to my truck (I haven't bomed yet )



I also got new springs built to help with the front end sag. Not as cheap as spacers but much nicer.

I just put the Edelbrock Performer IAS shocks and a Rancho RS5404 steering stabilizer on my truck this week. What a big difference over OEM shocks. No more soft mushie ride. They have only been in since Monday, but I am very impressed with them. Firm but not a rough ride. Take the time to check out the IAS system that the Edelbrock shocks have. IT WORKS!
