Need Shock advice....

I would like to run some single resevior shocks on the front of my truck. It's got 8 inches of lift in the front & measures 24" eye to eye normal & 28" at full drop. With so many different types of shocks out there I get frustrated. I would like to educate myself before going to the offroad shop and just buying something that I may not need. If anyone has a suggestion on size, brand, type, VALVING anything.... Plz help me out

Thanks in advance,

JB

Bilstien makes some really nice shocks. They have a series that is rebuildable/tuneable and has a resivour. You may have to try acouple of different valvings to see what you like, but it's just washers and springs. Read up on bilstien's site, they have a lot of info there.

Rancho, procomp and fabtech also have some, but I prefer Bilstien.
