Hey guys,
So I have recently redesigned my front suspension to include 52" fronts and 63" rears. I would like to add some 15" travel shocks.
What brands have you guys had luck with, models. etc?

I have the BBCS from Poly on mine and they seem to work well.

well heres the thing this is a trail only rig. nothing extreme, no fast romping. simply trail riding etc. i have superlift shockes currently and paid $86 for a set of 4. so price range is cheap. and as mentioned even like long travel monroe shocks would suit my application

I have the Bilstien 5150's with the attatched reservoirs on my 89 burb and love them, 100 a piece is a great price and you can get them at different travel lengths to suit your needs. Best bolt on Ive gone with so far.

i recently got fox 2.0 remote resivoirs for the rear to try them out
a little pricey, but my reasoning is that you can buy every single peice individually if you need to
i like them so far, took a little modding to mount them, but nothing unexpected

Went through this last fall, don't know if you tried searching, but here's the info I got from the research I did.

For the lazy. We never bought them but had made up our mind to buy the Doestch 8000 shocks. Guy that owned the truck lost interest, and hasn't touched it since.
