Default lowered SSS and VHO what shocks?

For you guys with SSS and VHOs that are lowered what shocks and part numbers are you using. I have the McGaughys 2/3.5 on mine with stock shocks that need replacing.

Belltech has a new line of shocks, the "street performance", I just installed all 4 corners and am very happy with the ride improvement. They are Belltechs top offering. https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...d.php?t=418496

The nitro-actives are nice, I went from them to the new Street-Perfomance and it was a whole world better.

don't know, but don't think it's a good idea. You would be towards the full extension and may damage the shock on the rebound.
