When and what would you change them out with? Maybe not necessarily when but would you change the stock ones out? Curious if I should or not! Thanks!

rear i would go with the Bilstiens 5100 series... cheaper than the rads and OMG the ride improvement!

The front you could go with the Saws or the Radflo's for stock height trucks.

As of now, you have a couple different rancho units and the kyb to choose form as far as a "Twin tube cellular". as for performance shocks you can get the small radflo, SAW or DRE coilovers that will level the truck and offer much better ride than the twin tube design. The only drawback is the price. Race style coilovers are pretty expensive but should last about 10x as long as the other designs.

The Bilsteins are incredible. We also had them in our 2004 Mach 1 and they have never let me down.

Bilstein was supposed to have Titan shocks by mid-October unless
there was a delay.

Are any of these good for the front having the leveling on it and also, I was thinking of the 1" rear block......what do you think? I looked at the website and could not find the prices on a couple of these. What are the prices......I am VERY interested! :)

Bilstiens Heavy Duty version, front and back. You can buy them from Ebay for $299 for all 4 :)

The Donahoe Racing shocks are amazing. I'll eventually be running those bad boys, but I have other things ahead of front shocks on the priority list (truetrak, traction bars, big brake kit, paint, etc.)

Personally, I'm torn on what shocks to get for my mini-lifted truck. My options are:

1. Donahoe Racing 2.5 front coilovers and rear shocks with deaver minipack ($1550)
2. Radflo 2.0 front coilovers and 2.0 rear reservior shocks with deaver minipack ($1250)
3. Radflo 2.0 front coilovers and DR shocks with deavers ($1050)


I hate decisions........I should've payed more attention while riding in Red v2......

BTW, no Total Chaos upper arms for me.....not spending $550.

Maybe I can offer some light on this situation. I just switched out the stock coils with Rancho RS5000 shocks on the front and rear. I went with Radflo coil overs, Bilstein Rears, and some other suspension components. I am 100% satisfied with the performance of the Radflo's and the Bilsteins. I notice a huge difference in ride.

i went with the dr's up front and the rancho 9000x in the rear.....im really impressed with the ranchos in the rear...thet ride great and are adjustable.....its really what you are looking for...firm ride? soft ride? if we knew exactly what your looking for im sure we could give you better opinions....

Would just replacing the rear shocks soften the ride?

I'm looking for a little softer ride......one that can take a beating off-road......yet be civilize on the pavement and absorb the many potholes in PA.

Landspeed ,I just got my stuff on A couple of weeks ago and love the ride and was easy to install too,2 inch radflo's if front,bilsteins rear and I also added deaver spring packs to the rear also.Right now I have 3 inches of lift over what was stock,and with 3 inches of rake,but I am going to adjust the front more,to get it more level.You can see them at the next meet,or P.M. me and I'll send you some pic's.
