Default 2012 rear shocks
Does anyone have some good recommendations for good rear shocks. I hate how stiff my rear end is. I also don't want to spend a whole lot of money.

I would go with a set of Bilstein 5100's.

We don't sell them but you can probably contact one of the supporting vendors here and they can get you taken care of.

I have icon 2.5 CDC coil overs in the front with icon upper arms and it ride great on and off road but the rear end buck a lot. Will the bilsteins get rid of that?

I'm assuming you have stock shocks and springs?

The bilsteins will definitely help. You can also add a Deaver mini pack too for a more progressive ride.

Yes the rear is all stock. Kind of spent everything on the front haha. What is a deaver mini pack? I know they are leaf springs but what is a mini pack?

The Mini pack replaces yours load springs.

It's a multi leaf pack that uses more but thinner leaf springs. Likely reduces payload too.

Ok so I'm not sure if this sounds dumb but what I removed my rear shocks and used my bags as shocks lol. Would that work?

He is looking for something inexpensive so Fox and Icon are out. I could've suggested King for him.
