Doetsch Tech Nitro Slammers are some of the best shocks Ive ever ran on a lowered truck and Ive tried quite a few including beltech's. IMO the are the best for the money.

Doesnt matter what shock you use. Your axle will still smack the frame.

..of course I have to buy the rear shocks separate so I want the best quality. Which rear shocks are recommended to go as low as 7"?
any reason why your going with the McGaughty kit?

I got the Beltechs on the rear and it runs good! I've bottomed out a few times on my 3/7 ...now I'm planning on getting the Beltechs for the front.
