Default How are these shocks?

My shocks are getting bad and in need of replacing. Ive been lookin around here for information and found that Belltech Nitro-Active shocks would be good for my truck(lowered 2/4). I found them on summit racing for $49.95. Am i getting the best deal?

you should look into Bilstein, or even Monroe (sensa Trac)..these will be fine with ur lowering kit, as suspension travel is shorter

I like my Doetschtech shocks. They are firm and very responsive.

The Nitro-Actives are what I run on the rear. I found them to improve handling greatly. I say go for it!
