Pretty sure I have a couple of Edelbrock IAS shocks lying around in boxes somewhere. I can check though and get you a price if you are interested. I only have the fronts though.

I think they're pretty decent. It's kinda hard for me to judge smoothness cause my drop came from lowering springs which have a higher spring rate than stock. So that will stiffen up the ride quality versus using the stock springs with a spindle and hanger/shackle drop.

The shocks are valved such that on rolling, smooth undulations in the road, it rides nice and smooth. It's when things are turned up a notch in speed that the shocks get firmer because the bumps in the road tend to feel like smaller, sharper ones.

The IAS stands for something like Inertia Active System. That is, when the piston in the shock is moving kinda slow, it lets the fluid flow through the valving nice and easy for a smooth ride. When the piston gets pushed faster, the valve closes up some to provide greater damping force for the spring.

I think I might be swapping out all four shocks at some point to ones that are firmer all the time cause the truck seems to wallow a bit when really pushing it hard and fast on smooth-ish roads. I like a tight feel all the time, but that is purely personal preference.

But like I said, pretty sure I got two NIB front IAS shocks in my closet somewhere that I can check for if you want.
