i plan to put the full kit on with the sway bars. its a 2/4 drop i believe. what are my shock options, and can you give me the characteristics of each.

 

I've heard good things about bilsteins. I'm also looking for shocks..

 

i believe hotchkis reccommends the edelbrock IAS shocks

 

where do they say that?

 

ive never seen it but a few people on here have posted that

it may or may not be written anywhere. it may just be what some have been told from the tech line( if there is one, i dont know)

the edelbrock IAS is a fairly stiff shock from what i hear and read

 

I talked to a hotchkis rep a couple years back and that was the shock he recommended and was running on his '01 ecsb with the TVS system...especially if you plan on towing anything.

 

Hotchkis recomends the Edelbrock shocks.

 

I use doestech or something like that.

 

I am using Doetsch Tech shocks. They are very well made and hagve a lifetime warranty against going out(thats right, going out in general). Only catch is that pitting, rust, nicks on the rod, etc will void the warranty, as will painting them, so dont try to fix the rust and blemishes lol. But They are good firm shocks. The edelbrock's are supposed to be better, and a smoother ride quality. I wouldent go with the Doetsch tech if I wanted a stock like ride, my truck can buck a little on some bumpy roads.

ok well i guess ill go with the edelbrocks.
