Re: what shocks
Ray Rust,...
If your question is about "Brand of Shock",... alot of people use KYB's, Belltech, or Bilsteins. As far as application,... a mild bag job using stock upper and lower a-arms, and trailing arms,... you can use the same length shocks as you would use for a 4/6 drop. It's when you get into tubular a-arms and 3-link or 4 link rear suspensions, that you need to contact the manufacturer of the components for the proper shock. What did you have in mind for your suspension? Static or bags?

6" of drop up front w/only cut springs doesn't sound right. How many coils have been cut off the spring?
