ok guys, here is the thing...

every winter for like 3 month im putting 400 pound in the box for traction and now my rear end looks lower than the front a bit..

I want to upgrade my shock absorber for good stuff...

Im gonna have to consider that im going to install the djm 3/4 kit this week

Im using the truck to work and do lil jobs on week-ends, so it will carry ciment bag and heavy stuff every once in a while and i dont want to slam the axel too much...

The notch is gonna be done one one day buy probably not this year..

What you guys have would use in my case...

thanks alot:thumbup:

Re: wich chock to get ?

First off, if your truck is sagging in the rear, shocks aren't going to help. Shocks (with the exception of air shocks) do not affect ride height at all. The only way to fix the sag correctly is to replace the leaf springs. Since you're lowering, I wouldn't worry about the sag, just go with a smaller block to compensate.

Since you'll be hauling heavy loads, I would hesitate to recommend air shocks. Go with some helper bags and you can level the truck out when its loaded.

if u go the airshock route monroes are the norm with everyone here... the part number is MA762 that most people have, seperating the air lines is highly recommended
