what are ya gonna do with the truck? Offroad? drag/street race?

For drag/street, I like the Comp Engineering 3 way adjustable even thoug they're always set on 90/10 front and 50/50 rear.

For Offroad and all around use, I like Bilsteins, Doetschtech, Rancho RS9000.

Bilsteins are $$ but you get what you pay for. They're worth it.

if you're going for offroad, the rancho rs9000x shocks look pretty cool. they're 9 way adjustable, so you can set the feel of the ride. i think theres some kind of in cab control box you can get too

i did a little research and listened to some people, and told me not to get the rs9000x shocks. supposedly they don't work too great, and are kind of gimmicky

what i have heard to use for offroad uses are shocks and components by old man emu, aka OME. everything is really overbuilt, and i've heard nothing but good stuff about them. only downside is the price on them, being a bit more expensive

I had procomp ES 3000s on my Trooper and loved them. If you don't have money for the real thing (OMEs), go for the next best thing (Procomp). In my opinion, the Procomps are better than Ranchos and cheaper to boot...
