Question Shocked! - Air Ride Shock Recommendations

Curious what shocks you guys are running with your bagged setups.

Looking for a non-gass filled shock that will compliment the addition of air ride on any vehicle.

Monroe Sensa-Trac?

What's your shock of choice?

Re: Shocked! - Air Ride Shock Recommendations

I've always used KYB shocks and had really good luck. Porterbuilt uses them also.

Re: Shocked! - Air Ride Shock Recommendations

We have had great results with the KYB shocks on our Dropmember systems for several years. They work great for the everyday driver.

For those wanting to upgrade to a more performance based shock, we have been using the Ridetech shocks (manufactured by FOX). High quality, and great results.

There are a ton of options in between, but this has been our approach.

There is also some great information in the "Make it Handle" thread that Rob from NoLimit started. He has provided good information for those wanting to really dig into this subject.

Re: Shocked! - Air Ride Shock Recommendations

I have No Limit rear shock relocators and measure 15" eye to eye at ride height, What part # KYB would you recommend for this set up?

Thanks,

Gump
