Shocks for lift ??????
I have a 6.5" lift on my truck and running 37" tires. SO.
It rides like a three legged goat.
Kind of like this guy.
I have been told by a few people now that the Pro-Comp MX6 shocks are great. Supposed to give an almost stock ride. I figured someone on here could offer some valuble info PLEASE.
The shocks on the truck now are pro-comp 3000 or some cheezy mess like that. If you don't know much about those shocks, please feel free to tell me what you have and how they ride.
Thanks a bunch.

I've got 5100's on my truck, I think they're just the stock replacements. I believe the 5150's and 7100 series are the giganto lift shocks.
IMO changing the shock won't do a whole lot for changing the ride. If you really want to alter the way it rides you need to alter the spring rates, then choose a dampener to augment it.

I have what you are asking about. Yhe ride is a little stiffer than stock. When I first installed the lift, it was rough now the spring packs seem to be settling in, it's alot better now! The Mx6 do help for bumps. I mostly drive highway and have them set on 3. Off road it's great though. One thing about running 37's offroad, take it;s easy they will rub.
