Default Shock tip for 2" front drop :)

My truck has 2" Eibach front drop springs I thought the springs was making the truck ride very harsh I was so annoyed I thought I'd swap the shocks just to see? so I called to Monroe after a 10 minutes call they told me a shock that might work # 37137 I grabbed a pair installed them truck rides a lot better now i'm very please

Specs # 37137
Compressed Length: 8.5 inch
Extended Length: 13 inch
Travel Length: 4.5 inch


stock shock specs
Compressed Length: 10.13 inch
Extended Length: 14.63 inch
Travel Length: 4.51 inch


when I asked about the shock being spec'd for another vehicle how would it work on my truck the reply was the same way a drop shock will......kinda make me think this is all drop shocks really are?

Online you can fine them for around $30, I paid $45 from a local parts store didn't want to wait for shipping

well at time the only thing keeping me in my seat was my seat belt (seriously) also felt the tires loosing contact with the pavement at times, dont get me wrong its like riding like a luxury sedan but it has improved a lot.

it was a hard bouncy ride if that make sense?

Belltech shocks are valved differently than shocks you can pick up at your local auto parts store. They also take the guess work out of which shock you need.

Go with Nitro Drop 2s Front: 8521 Rear: 8504

The ND2s are a bit softer and more comfortable. For mild drops I recommend these.
