Sitting at 4/7 rides like dog dirt... Need rear shock opinions
#1
Ok, not long ago i posted here asking shock opinions.. I went a diff route
and now regret it, i need some shocks for the rear of the truck that ride better, these on here are riding like crap.. Stiff as a board..
How well do the belltech shocks ride? as good as stock?
How about the McG rear shocks?
I want something that rides close to stock and yes i know a lowered truck is almost always going to ride stiffer but it has to be able to ride better than this...

^^^What Three6GMC said will work out fine for you and give you a nice ride.^^^
On mine I have the MCG Flip in the rear with Bell-Tech Street Performer Shocks with MCG Shock Extenders installed.
Rides almost as good as stock, I have not Notched my frame or installed Helper Bags mainly because of the weight reduction I have done and I will never tow with this truck.
I seldom bottom out and when I do its not bad.

Belltech street perfomance shock here. I also have helper bags but only ride around with like 5-7 psi since I don't really like it to lift any. I only got the helper bags for when I haul stuff around and/or have a truck full of people
I haven't tried any other shock so I can't compare it to anything other than stock. They ride pretty close to stock IMO. I've also heard good things about the nitro drop shocks.

Well i ordered a set of the 2210FF belltechs from Jegs... would you all recommend extenders or no?
I was concerned about the angle at which the shocks sit..
Just got my profit sharing check from cummins and need to spend a little of it to get this thing ironed out..
Gotta spend the rest catching up on home maintenance..
Shame

Those shocks are perfect and I definitely recommend shock extenders. I got mine from ssierra08 and they worked great.
I drove mine with out them first so I could judge whether the extenders help and I can tell you this there is a noticeable difference.

I have beltech street performance shocks and I kid you not it's alot better than the mcgs. I also have a helper kit on there and it rides really good.

On 24s with 275/30/24

On 20s with 275/55/20 the only diff is that I went up to 6" in the back to take the Cali lean off
