New shocks for 6in lifted gmc

[Esparta123456789]

I was trying not to ask this question being there so much on this topic. But I can’t seem to find what I’m looking for.

 I have a 2014 gmc z71 with a 6in procomp spacer lift kit. One of my front shocks is starting to go bad. Since I have to change them I was thinking on just upgrading to better shocks. I was thinking on king are fox shocks but do not want to change the height. I am also not sure if I should run a full length coil over are a oem sized one since I am currently running with a spacer. I am not a heavy off roader. Mostly to and from the camp down some dirt roads that’s about it. Wish had the time for more. I don’t want to get any worse ride quality either the wife would hate me.

First off, it all depends on your budget.
If you’re not a a budget you can easily replace front coil overs and rear shocks with just about anything out there. CST, King and Fox make great shocks so you really can’t go wrong with either. Just let the place you’re purchasing from know you’ve got a 6” Procomp lift and they’ll very easily give you the shocks and coil overs that’ll best fit your lift. I’d avoid ProComp shocks like the plague no matter how cheap they are.

Here’s my CST setup:




Front Coil Overs give the best ride quality available.

That set up looks sweet. I’ve heard about coil overs having the best ride quality so I’ll probly go with those. My back pocket might hurts for a little while after wards.

wife might hate me for a while so might have to see who offers me the best price over all.

Don’t go with any Store Brand name like ProComp. Just figure out how long you’re going to keep the truck, is it worth it and all you to do is save every month. Coil Overs will definitely help with ride quality but you can just swap out for front Bilstein 5100 struts and rear Bilsteins 5100’s specifically for your lift. Replacement up front with Bilstein will use your existing ProComp 6” spacer just longer added rear 5100’s.

I am deaf leaning more tards coil overs more for were I live at. I just change that shock out 2 years ago when I bought the truck I also had to rebuild the front diff and tranny. Not long after. I don’t mind dumping money into it for better quality and longer life. I wonder if it went out do to the wash board dirt roads I have to drive down. Are the hop I have from the tires.

Had anyone felt with filthy motor sports?

 I seen there videos on YouTube and they seem legit.

So now I’m at a dead stop my front measurement is 25.625 at full draw. I’ve contacted filthy mother sports and they told me I can have shocks made but they would sit 1 to 2in lower in front. For best performance. But I don’t want to lower the front at all it sits dead level right now. 

I was thinking maby the Fox shocks that run on the bds kits instead. But the shock length sits at 24.15. If anyone has any info on this that would be great I have decided I want coil overs and I plan on keeping the truck for at least three more years.
