Everyone happy with their belltech street performance shocks??

[WHITEOUT]

Great info guys!

Whiteout/Austin, are you using drop arms in the front? If so, do you have the part number for the front shocks?

I just ordered new jounce stops and hoping to get new shocks and an alignment before I put my new tires on.

I pm'd you bro. But no, not running arms anymore, back to spindles. So I can't help you with a part #. Pretty sure someone can get you the number you need bro. it ain't a secret wouldn't think......

Well my kit, I got from Tony.. 3-5.5 drop, full Spohn UCA and LCA bars rear,Panhard bar and my front and rear sway bars I got right from Eibach. I got the helpers bags for towing and run the SP BT in the rear.
Now I bought Tony's kit about a year ago and have about 1800 miles on it since then...( I know, its sad she sits)
Now I thing the shocks in the front that came with the kit are DJM's. I HATE THEM! Says nothing bad about Tony and he might of revised his kit since I bought it last year this time.
ALEX33 is the guy who has got the shock game figured out in my opinion. I think him and Mike did a lot of trial and error. From all of Alex33's research I would go with the Bilstein for the fronts. I am trying my hardest to find that thread where we were all talking about the front shocks for DJM arms.
I also made the mistake of cutting my jounce stops right out,but after reading WHITEOUT's comments on that last year, I have red energy suspension bumpstops in there now.
I run 24's and do a lot of towing to shows and trails. The only complaint I have ever made was about the front shocks, that originaly came with my kit....

the kits i sell now all use the belltech street performance shocks. My 6 inch rear drop springs designed them around the belltech rear sp shocks ride is nice.

See...thats what I thought Tony. I think you were selling the kit with the DJM Calmax shocks, right? I'll run to the garage and check...gimme a sec..............................................................................................................Yep,thats what the were. I know you have revised your kit since I orderdd mine last year. GOOD DEAL!

OUCH! throwing daggers at me already! Doing good man. Couple guys you sent my way had some questions about my drop. So I figured I better get on the Suspension thread and put my .02 in.
I get wrapped up in the lounge talking s*&t and I forget their is a whole nother world on here. Good to see you back my dude!

From what I can gather, the correct belltech street performance shock number for use with djm lower a-arms is 10103B and 2410FF for the rear. Any discrepancies there?

After reading great things about billstein shocks, I'm somewhat torn now. The part numbers I have found for them are 24-013284 for the front and 24-143806 for the rear but shock extenders are a must.

Has anybody gone from one brand to the other? Any pros/cons on using shock extenders?

I've gotten a lot of help from quite a few people but would love to make this as easy as possible for somebody needing shocks in the future.

Shocks are right

It boils down to your preferences....

You like a firm ride or a soft ride.

I like super firm so I changed my setup. Nothing wrong with having one or the other.
