Question toxic drop shocks?

after much furstration with dealing with stylin trucks.com they finaly ship my flip kit, and they said they would throw in a pair of toxic drop shocks for no charge.

while i was planing on running nitro 2s or possible short gaberiles this is a deal i cant pass up.

any one running these? if so hows the ride im gonna have a 3/6 drop

No need to "bump" on a forum that has less trafic then a one horse town.

I am sure they will be fine but i have no personal experiance with them.

BE PREPARED FOR A HARSH RIDE.

The rear toxics are sooo stiff. Wished you would have talked to me im good friends with mike and mark at djm so they take care of me and i deal with them direclty. Your much better off going with the djm rear drop shocks.

also with the rear 6 inch drop you will need to notch the frame.

on the trucks ive done 6 inch drop in rear it bottoms out anyway you look at it. I like just being truthful more than 5 inches on the 04 up i always notch it.

i would do the djm over the nitro 2s and also I have a lifetime warranty on the DJM ones. If you dont like the toxic shocks just shoot me a pm and we can work something out.

Belltech Street Performance shocks are the best riding drop shocks i've witnessed so far.

I just bought some shocks from pep boys. My drop nothing special. On the front I put western chassis springs intalled them with gabrielle shocks heated the springs for more of a drop rear took a leaf spring and some drop shackles. No bounce no stiffness still rides just like the way I bought it. Ill be willing to show and prove it too. As long as u know what your doing you xont need to spend over $400 on a drop kit.
