my trucks been lowered for about a year and a half now. i was doing it on the cheap and since i used spindles and flip kit w/shock extensions, i didnt have to buy new shocks since i maintained stock travel. the ride is really stiff, even with 70 series sidewalls. ive read reviews on all the drop shocks, but everbody says different things about the same products, so i dont know what to get. i definitely want something softer than stock. id like to get doetsch tech but a couple people said they were too stiff, and same thing for belltech 2's.
id preferably like to hear from people who have used more than one brand of drop shocks, for a good comparison, but any input is appreciated!

I ran Toxics on mine and liked them. If you are still using spindles and extensions you really should be using a stock shock application though. I have had good luck with Monroe's and Gabriels (after reminder).

I ran doetch tech on mine and it was like there weren't even shocks there. I will never buy them again.

my toxics were nice make sure you have them for the right length
stock is fine for up to 2" of drop after that look into toxics the four in drop shocks are the same as the flips with extenders

Well I have the DJM lowered shocks. And from I've read on hear and other area's. I would go with either the bell techs or the Toxics. Im not real happy with mine. And thats just comparing my info with others.
