Oh those suck, do not buy those. Way too small for a truck, but they might work well for an 800lb sand rail or something. They are competition engineering drag shocks for what its worth.

What shocks would you recommend Atomic? Rancho 9,000 or the Calvert racing shocks? I want to be able to adjust them firmer at the track and softer for daily driving. Also, would there be a benefit to just replacing the stock shocks with adjustables in the stock location or is it necessary to relocate them to the back of the axle to get any traction benefits? Thanks!

I havent used the calverts so I cant comment on those, but I do have the rancho 9000s and have no complaints. There would be a benefit to upgrading shocks even if you dont relocate the passenger one to the back.

His previous post states he made it with DOM tubing. I'm guessing he just bought some DOM tubing and some generic shock tabs.

something like these http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ky...25-a/overview/
