pay the money for quality front shocks, I personally run bilstiens.

I found in the rear the shocks don't have as bigger effect, and you can save some dollars and fit some procomps :D

Ditto to Grimace....

I run 80 Series Bilsteins up front and procomps at the rear....anything else up front is crap!

Mine are TJM XGS but I note they're not popular with previous posters, not sure why...?
Are yours linear or progressive?
