Default Shock Help......

Alright guys, and gals if your out there, I need some input. I have an 01' ECSB with a 2/4 drop and 275/45/20's. My ride quality sucks, and I know that considering what I have done to it the ride will never be stock quality, but I want to know which shocks everyone is running w/ the 2/4 drop and what kind of ride your getting. Any input is appreciated, thanks.

I have DT's too... they make the ride great in an ec because of the added weight. I would think they'd almost be too firm on the reg cab.

I am running kyb drop shocks and I think they ride great. The factory shocks rode like crap after I dropped my truck. I am running a 2/4 with the same size tires you have. My drop in the rear was accomplished with shackles/hangers. Rides just like stock now!

I guess I am gonna have to crawl under the truck and get the numbers off them. I bought them from a local speed shop and threw the boxes away, so I don't have the numbers handy.

I do know they were the gas-a-just brand.
