Need some advise for shocks

I am getting a 6" superlift kit that does not come with shocks. So I need to get shocks. I only have duals up front. Its mostly a DD with some weekend adventure but nothing to big. Im not sure which brand would be the ebst bang for my buck?? Thanks

Check out Summitracing.com. I will need a shock long enough to fit the lift. Is cost a factor? I think Supoerlift makes a shock for that application...if not Rancho are always good...

my 85 HO with dual fronts, I got some RS5000s at a blow out sale yrs ago. I used it occassionaly offroad, but when I did I beat out hard, those shock took some really hard hits and soaked it right up, no rider impact. Good High speed road manners too.

Thanks for that. I was also wondering, is it better to go hydro or nitro?

read the other post on shocks today. I just found out that it is OK to just have one shock on the front and makes a better ride. If it is a DD then that might be an option at first. It would be cheeper
