Default rear shocks 2/4 drop.

I'm running a DJM 2/4 lowering kit with lower control arms and hangers and shackles in the rear. I seen some where on this site where poeple are running ajustable Rancho 9000 on rear of there lowered trucks. I'm looking for modle number on these shocks. Thanks

So far from what I can tell the Rancho 9000's won't run especially good on anything with a 3-4" rear drop. I need to replace the blown Edelbrocks on my truck's rear with the Calvert Racing 9 way adustables (Basically the same as the Rancho's, but with some Calvert tweaking. I love my Caltracs, so definitely trust the shocks. Here's the link to the Calvert shocks: Calvert Racing - The Leader in Leaf Spring Innovation

Lol cool! I saw that your post was about 5 months ago so I figured you had gotten something. How do you like the shocks? Are you still running the 2/4 djm drop setup that you posted in at the beginning of this thread?

Cool. So how do you like the Calvert shocks? Would you recommend them?

Good to hear. I should be installing them over the next two weeks. Can't wait to have a decent and stable ride. My truck really moves but hitting bumps, pot holes, and freeway overpasses/uneven pavement really gets the truck bouncing/unstable.
