Default What shocks??

I need new shocks for my 2000 scab 4x4. it has a Rough Country 4" lift consisting of keys and 2" blocks in the rear. Just looking for something cheap to get me by for now since having 5 month old twins makes funds alil tight! lol

I don't think they are real cheap, but I like my Fox. Just a standard shock for a lifted truck but they have an aluminum body so they won't rot.

Fox is going to run $150+ each.. really no sense in that. Bilstein makes a really good quality and ride quality shock for around $80 ea. But you can even go to a Rancho RS5000 shock that is like $50 ea and will ride good enough and last you til the day you want high end shocks. As long as your not offroading and maxing the shock out they should last you a while.

No im not- Jump onto fourwheel parts and select what shocks ya want and input your lift info- it'll give you the part numbers ya need for any of the brands.
