recommended shocks for 2/4 drop

[d00bies]

recently lowered my denali with belltech torsion key drop kit and belltech nitro 2 drop shocks. the rides ok, but i want a smoother ride. should i just switch to the front spindle or would better shocks do the job?

1) torsion keys at 2 inch ride wont ride smooth doing waste money on shocks. your better off doing either spindls or the djm arms will belltech sp shocks. DJm arms /belltech sp shocks i sell for 450 but you replace the entire lower a arm and new bushings and new lower ball joints and you can adjust it from 2-3 inch drop.

2) in rear 4 inch drop wont ride well unless you cut bracket of frame/add belltech sp shocks/rear djm endlink kit/my bumpstops/shock extenders. if you dont do that truck will just keep bouncing on bumpstops. What set up do you have in rear now?

I replied to your pm. If you want the truck to ride nice torsion keys are not the way to go in the front if your doing more than 1 inch drop.

I have the belltech 2/3-4 torsion kit with nitro 2 shocks all around. Also have the free travel mod done. Rides good at slow speeds, but rides super stiff while cruising.

fr9nt keys and no free travel mod that is normal. more then 1 inch drop always go with spindkes or a arms and rear more then 3 inch drop always cut bracket off frame/my bumpstops /djm endkinks and belltech sp shocks and rides smooth

He said he has te free travel mod done. If he just switches from keys to spindles guaranteed he gets a way better ride

5305 rear spring?

Wow, glad I read this thread. Was going to do the 2" keys and 3" spring for now then go with 2" spindles and turn the keys down to only 1" for a 3/3 drop. Really want to do the 3" DJM control arms, but I have brand new Bilstein shocks I really don't want to replace already. Will probably just hold off and do the 2/3 drop with spindles. Thanks Tony!

no prob

just switch to belltech spindles, rides somewhat better. most likely will upgrade the shocks. the nitro 2 are a bit soft and feels like it doesnt absorb bumps very well. what do you guys recommend? was looking at either the belltech sp's or the bilstein hd's.

I run blistein's on my Burban and love them. Smooth ride, but takes bumps like a champ. Of course I haven't lowered mine...yet.
