IF you realy want to go all out, you can buy a remote system for $155 that lets you ajust the shocks from in your cab.(by the way right now on www.4wheelparts.com if you buy 3 rs9000's you get one free.[4 for $257.99])
Hope this helps!

I just purchased 4 RS 9000 X's from Sams Offroad over the internet. $223.00 and free shipping. Installation was a breeze.

I dont do that much towing anymore. Would the 9000 still be good to have, I mean would they be over kill. I was thinking about just going with the RSX's.

Honestly if you are looking for some good shocks, just head on down to your auto parts store and pick up Monroe's. They have served me for years without any problems. It gives you a nice comfy ride and a lot of the shops use them.

How expensive are Bilsteins. I'd get a whole new set of 4.

Do NOT buy Explorer Pro-comps. Those are the biggest waste of $100 I've ever spent.

It was like transamerican four wheel or something, who owns 4wheelparts and procomp just got charged with fraud and other things. So I'm done with them.

As far as shocks go, my choice will probably be the ones that are the best and are most available, because i dont feel like ordering, done enough of that lately.
