I dropped 4" in the front and bought Belltech Nitro drop shocks. Those things sucked They had no pressure to them and rode like junk.

So I put my stock ones back in. Not only did they fit fine, but they drive really well. Not harsh at all with the drop.

In the back I still run some Nitro drop shocks because the stock ones became donors to another project.
