Shocks

[Mojavered]

2006 Z71 1500 with a 6" lift, full traction. How do I know what size shocks I should get? I want to replace all 4. Thanks!

Ones for however much actual lift you have in the front and rear. A 6" lift that lifts the truck 6" in the front and 4" in the rear needs front shocks for 6" of lift and rear shocks for 4" of lift.

That's what I thought, thanks!

 

What is the difference between the Bilstien 4600 and 5100 shocks, or some Monroe Reflex and Rancho shocks? 4 Wheel parts recommends the procomp es9000 shock. Is there a huge difference between these shocks? Thanks!
