Shocks?

[mullady76]

2 weeks ago I got a set of 4 Edelbrok twin tube IAS shocks for $100. They turned my truck into a seesaw, the front end bounces up and down pretty bad. Needless to say they are getting returned. Now what shocks should I get? BTW I just installed the DT track bar and will be installing their longer control arms and a set of SJ d25 springs.

Anybody use the Rancho RSX1700 shocks?

Rancho 9000 adjustable on the rear.

Rancho RSX self adjust on the front. If any one tells you RSX don't handle the heavy front end. I totally disaggree!

I paid extra to put on Bilsteins and they ride no better than Gabriel Ryders at roughly half the cost.

Both of them quality shocks, but staying with the Gabriels would have left money in my pocket not to mention the labor in changing out perfectly good shocks.

The Bilstiens had to be trimmed to fit the lower mounts also.

My two cents.
