New shocks / struts for my GMT900? >>UPDATE Post #20

[Zembonez]

OK.

I'm lifting my truck back up on the OEM springs. End result will be one inch higher in the front (keeping the 2 inch drop spindles) and about 1.5 inches in the rear (keeping the lowered shackles and losing the OEM block).

Question is: What kind of struts / shocks do you guys recommend? I've always had superb luck with the ride and handling the KYB units offer... so I'm thinking of going with those.

Comments?

I don't have personal experience with them but, I was always under the impression Bilstein's were the way to go and I was going to be replacing mine with them when the time comes.

There can be only one...

IMHO shocks are like women, everyone has their own preferences and tastes. That being said, I hear nothing but good from people with Bilstein shocks, except for bitching about the price. KYB are always a good bet, as are Koni and Belltech. I would not use Monroe on a "lowered" truck, or a "lifted" truck either. But I am probably going to use Monroe on my Chevy until I decide what to do with the suspension.

I don't care about cost. I want maximum performance without a punishing ride.

Well you know my opinion towards Bilstein. The shocks I have are doing great so far.

I'm enjoying the bilsteins I got from Justin.

Narrowed down to Bilstein and KYB. Both cost about the same.
