PICS
Nice truck Nick99Chevy! I am hoping to get a Hotchkis drop after the new year but I will have to see if it is in the budget. So the Doestch shocks are stiffer than the Edelbrock IAS shocks? How much are they compared to the Edelbrock IAS?

Thanks. I've been told they are a little stiffer than the Edel's, I may try them next year. You can get a set of them for $160, I paid $270 for the Edel's.

I will think about getting the Doestech shocks whenever it comes time. Do you have part numbers?

What are you going to do with your Edels after you replace them with the Doestechs? How many miles do you have on them?

They have about 5K on them now. If I end up liking the DT's better, the Edel's will be for sale.

Keep me updated on how those Doestechs ride compared to the Edels. Thanks for your input!

I doubt for $100 less than the Edelbrocks the DT will be nicer. If you want stiff go with HAL shocks, those are adjustable, but they cost more than the Edelbrocks.
You get what you pay for.

The reason I'm going with the DT's is because I know several people that have used them and liked them. Now my truck bobs like a '73 Buick I had in high school.
