hey... well the trucks current suspension is stock from 1999. it was a work truck with racks on it. suspension is not entirely shot but definitely needs to be replaced. i was first thinking of buying a suspension perf. lift from fabtech, which still may be an option, or just to buy shocks/springs/leafs. im not looking to lift truck more than 3". id like suspension to drive smooth n nice on highway and still be strong enough to tear up 'a little off road (even though its 2wd) for off-loading my dirtbikes.
thanks!!

If you do upgrade your shocks, keep these in mind.

The RS9000XL are nice because they are adjustable.

Also we have our No Limits Promo going on as well.

Good luck in your choice.

Might want to look into lift spindles. easy driveway install , keeps ride like stock. And if you need other replacement parts you can can get stock replacement parts from any local parts house. I ran them on my half ton and had good ride , especially for DD.
