Best shocks?
I took my front shocks off today and go figure all 4 of them are shot! Ive also got 2 stabilizer shocks too, and im sure my rear shocks are shot too. I looked on BDS website and im looking at over $500 to replace all of them. Sense I have to spend that much to get the same shocks i already have, why not spend a little more or less. Now I need some input to what are the best shocks for a lifted truck. Thanks in advance.
