Default New shocks

I'm looking for a new set of shocks, just wondering which brand ya'll prefer and where's the best place to get them.

It's for an '02 Sierra RCSB 2wd 2/4 drop.

Thanks, Kyle

I'm a big fan of Bilsteins, but for your application I'd go for some Belltech street performance.

+1, I loved my Bilsteins when I was at stock height, unfortunately they're compressed due to my drop now, and Bilstein doesn't offer a drop shock. The Belltech Street Performance shocks have gotten great reviews by members here.

I have been riding on my stock Bilsteins with a 3" drop in the rear, .

Glad the Belltech's have good reviews, I just ordered some last night.

I also will prop the Belltechs. My truck rides great with them compared to the stockers or the nitro-actives i had before.

I'm gonna give props to the belltech street performance shocks, I put them on my truck a few days ago and made one hell of a difference. They ride so nice not to mention they look good as well. Then a day later I put a new set of Toyo Proxes STII on it and holy hell, It's like a whole new truck. So anybody looking to replace their shocks, I HIGHLY recommend the Belltech's.
