Default Lowered RCSB shocks!


I hate to start a new topic on this because I saw it mentioned somewhere a few weeks back, but ive been searching for the last two days and can no longer find it.


I have a 2017 RCSB with the belltech 3/5 kit.


Im wondering what Bilstein shocks the lowered guys went with, or other options. The belltech shocks are sub par imo.


Thanks in advance.

Look for my thread here about the Fox 2.0’s for dropped trucks. There’s PN’s in there. Several of us are running them now instead of BellTech and far as I know everyone is happy with them.

for the rear on mine I just installed the djm/calmax shocks. I was contemplating installing a c notch until I installed these shocks. they react quick enough that bumping the frame in the rear has been eliminated.

I too think for the fronts the belltechs aren't up to par. I had two of them start leaking. I recently picked up a set of Monroe sensatracks that I will at some point in the near future install. currently i'm running the stock front shocks and re-installed the front sway bar flipped upside down, which has help decrease the tire rubbing issues I've experienced.

Off topic but vas specialties told me they've made adjustable upper control arms for late model 150s and would only charge me around 380 for a set if anyone is trying to get more adjustment.

oh I reread your other post and it's upper control arms that you're talking about. I have added camber adjustment on the lowers because I slotted the holes where the control arms mount so they can be pulled in more.
