It seems to be that dostech has several different shocks listed for our trucks. Does anyone know the differences or tried different types? Im ordering some on friday so Im researching ahead of time

Does Mike still have his old ones for sale? If so you could get his, otherwise he might be able to answer your question at least.

Tom,

Eric bought mine. The part number for the ones I had are:

4052G front, and 4163G rear. If buying from Sport Truck Direct (where I bought mine) or PSC, they will be able to tell you which ones you need.

4052 is for a 2"-3" Drop Spindle right? (basically, stock shock)
Also, I got the 4095G for my rear flip kit (5"-6")

4052 is for 3" of drop from a coil? so i'm good with up to 6" of drop if i wanted, 3" from spindle, and 3" from coils

You need to measure for proper shock length.
For example, I run 8403's front and back but mine is a lifted 4x4 with relocated shock mounts.
On the DT website they have an excellent list of shock collapsed and extended lengths.
