I wanted to start a poll on what shocks people are throwing under their rigs, I am unsure what I want to throw into mine. so advice, tips, and what your personal feels about your shocks would be greatly appreciated. thanks guys

I'd vote for Bilstein if they weren't so expensive. Skyjacker for me.

Go with a good Bilstien and only use one (rear). Get rid of your sway bars too. You will get more flex out of the front end this way.

Monroe coil over shocks on the front and soon the rears too.

So does that illuminate the coil spring then?

I assume you mean eliminate but no it dosen't just makes heavier loads more stable and a little less roll on the front.

The front is a auxiliary shock you really dont need if your back long travel shock is an upgrade. Which anything is a upgrade from stock.
