I've searched around for this, and as expected, have read MANY opinions claiming thier shocks are THE BEST.
I am planning a 3" Toytec Spacer Lift in the front, and 3" AAL's in the rear.
I am looking at the Bilstien HD shocks, or some OME shocks. I'm gonna need all 4, plus the brake line extension in the back, so price IS an issue, so cheaper is better, but I dont want to sacrifice all my ride quality for $ either.

So what do you guys reccomend to save a "near factory" ride quality, with the above mentioned lift??

Thanks for any ideas.

 

Chris, I have basically what you have (T6 spacer in front, AAL's in back, and I have the blue Tokico's. It's not horrible at all, but the ride stiffened a bit when I lifted it. I would go with OME's - although I'm not sure which ones you would want (as far as stiffness). Eventually, that's what I would like to do: OME's all around, and hopefully Deaver leaf packs in the back. Anyway, hope that helps. Good luck!

 

Thanks a lot CJ. Are there different part numbers for different length blue tokico's? Or is it just one shock length? And its good for a 3" lift all around? Those are cheaper than OME's? I think I would go with a little softer OME...
I beleive the N91SC's are the soft set, for the front, and N91S's are the firmer set, if anyone can confirm this, I would appreciate it. I'll probably end up getting the shocks from Phil, I suppose. Anyone know the OME PN's for the rear? Thanks Guys.

 

Chris, I was thinking: you know who might know what you need, and would be able to dial you in? Either Andy (Bamachem) or Steve (SSchaefer) from Sonoran Steel. You might PM them and get their input - they'll steer you in the right direction, they know what they're talking about.

 

guess the 3.5" Fabtech CO Lift cost a little to much ?

 

Decided to go CHEAP on this one, and save the money for a second truck, no point in coilovering a Mall crawler, really... lol.



Coilovers on the NEXT truck.
