Shocks, which ones?

[BlackDog714]

I am finally starting my build up of my /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif and I am looking to buy new shocks.

I will be removing the sway bar (D60 and crossover) but I will also be driving it on the street. Springs are either going to be TC or BDS 4 or 6 in.

How about these at Edlebrock or these at Fox Shox

Both of those are awesome, but how much are they? I know the Bilsteins are like $100 a piece and that was pretty much my limit.

Well you did'nt say you had a spending limit /forums/images/graemlins/yikes.gif!Fox Shox aren't that much more $140 on up!

I believe the pictured shock will run you quite a bit more than $205. All those bypasses and the res, and that shock is meant to fly man, not to crawl. The Edelbrocks well I haven't seen any travel numbers, they seem to sell for vehicle specific and they are almost $200 a shock. Definetally go with a 5150 over that. I plan on 5150s all the way around, 14" travel jobs since I will have 52" springs up front and coils in the rear.

How are they for road ride? Anyone use these w/o a sway bar?

I'm not currently running them nor have I herd any feed from those who are, but I like the RS9000x. Its what I'd like to replace my $30/piece el cheapos with.

I have them on all four on my 88 daily driver without the swaybar connected.
The DoeTsch are a prerunner shock and there a few people on this board running them. You can see pics on my Silverado link below.

I'm doing them all the way around on my rig. I thought they were going to be too short for the rear but I did some playing with a measuring tape today and they're going to work out perfect for me, with room to spare.

To use them up front I'm going to need to install my Ford towers.
